Washington, June 26.—A large brown
stone house on H street, near Fourteenth,
ii.-diiv had a gilded sign added to its exte-
tiiir adornment. The words thereon are:—
• ■ ,|, inoeratic congressional executive com
mittee.” 1 could not avoid reflecting on
the grief that this label would cause the
•s,.ill of the lamented Zoeharinh Chandler if
it tinds time in the abode of heavenly bliss
tc dwell upon earthly events. This new
home of the democratic congressional com
mittee was built by the sturdy republican
W nr horse. At the time of its erection it
u us one of the handsomest residences in
jtie capital city. Now, alas! it is in the
hands of the enemy. The chairman of the
present committee, Senator Kenna, accep
ted the trust with considerable hesitation,
Put he now appears to bear his honors
comfortably. It is to be hoped that the
e xperienees of the next campaign will not
sour his blood.
NO POST AS YET.
George A. Post, now a private citizen of
Pennsylvania, was the secretary of this im
portant political organization during the
last presidential contest. His was the bold
and audacious mind that conceived the
preparation of a startling campaign
‘pamphlet entitled, “Open the Books.”
■Tiie literary work is said to have been done
by diaries E. Creey. The demoralizing
effect of this screed upon the republican
party was tremendous. The charge
was boldly made that there
was a deficiency of f200J)00,000 in the
United States treasury. More than live
hundred thousand copies of this pretty
fiction were scattered throughout the
country. It hud a decided influence upon
the result, ns the leaders of both parties
know. Well, when the rewards of victory
came to he apportioned, Mr. Post naturally
anticipated a neat halo in the form of a
public trust. To his friends he expressed
a preference for the assistant secretaryship
of the interior, but when that berth was
bestowed upon Mr. Jenks, a fellow Penn
sylvanian, he was unhappy to tile verge of
a slmdder. Since that day he has not had
any greater affection for the administra
tion than it has had for him. Mr. Cleve
land believes in truth.
A RARE EXCEPTION, TRULY.
“An epidemic of monument building
threatens the country,” said a prominent
congressman to-day. “The ex-presidents
are all to have memorials. We have de
cided to erect another one to Washington
at Newburg. A movement has been start
ed here by a wealthy citizen to place
statues of Calhoun, Webster and Clay in
three of the public squares. Where will
it stop?”
“Speaking of honoring the memory of
dead presidents, I am ready to bend a list
to order a statue of David R. Atchison,
who died iuMissouri on the 2Hth of last Jan
uary,” said a western democratic senator
who had joined the group.
“Who was he ?”
“Indeed! He was president of this na
tion for exactly twenty-four hours.”
The senator was right. The term of j
President Polk expired with the 3d of
Mjirch, 1849, and the 4th of March in that
vear falling on Sunday President-elect Tay
lor was not willing to take the oatli of
office upon that day. The latter’s inaugu
ration did not take place, therefore, until
noon on Monday, the 5th. Senator Atchi
son being then the presiding officer of the
chamber, and having the natural succes
sion in the absence of president or vice-
president, was actually chief executive of
tiie republic during Sunday, March 4, 1849.
Air. Hayes, by the way, was not so timid
about taking the oath of office on Sunday.
It was administered to him in John Sher
man’s house on K street. But to return to
thejgroup of statesmen :
“Why does Atchison especially deserve a
monument?” asked the congressman.
“Because,” answered the senator naively, j
“he was the only chief executive whose
administration was not criticized. Poor .
old George himself had his character torn
to shreds, you know.”
A distinction in favor of “President”
Atchison, surely, that entitles the senator’s
suggestion to public consideration. By all
.means let the president who gave universal
satisfaction have a monument.
THE LESSON OF IT.
During the second Napoleonic dynasty
the American minister sent the names of
several distinguished countrymen whom 1
he desired to be presented to the emperor
at the Tuileries. An “imperial” clerk
called to ask “the quality” of the persons.
He was informed by the minister that all ;
of them would be admitted to a presiden- i
tial levee. The messenger vanished and
no reply was ever received. The only
requisite for audience with the president |
of this nation is that the visitors shall be '
men and women. At the recent public re
ception, a society queen tells me, a lady j
whose grandfather was a worthy drayman ;
I though she now affects the blue blood oi a
Castilian grandee) was in high dudgeon
all next day because she had observed her
chambermaid iu the line some distance in
front of where she stood. This was very
shocking. But in the course of time this
maid’s granddaughter may turn up her
nose at the descendants of my lady and
thus square the account of blood. There’s
food for comfort in this. Nothing that
one can see in Washington so well teaches
the real meaning of a government by and
for the people as a public reception at the
white house.
SUMMEK DULLNESS

some lines of bleached and
brown cottons the advance is from } to 4

advanced on a decline in the average new
production daily, and hog products con-
' tendency toward higher figures

provement in raw cotton. But on the long
list of remaining staples there is no con
spicuous gain. Breadstuff!} are low in

special to Enquirer-Sun.
Seale, Ala. June 2S.—The farmers’
club met at Villula Saturday. The ques
tion discussed was. “How to Keep Up in
terest in the Club?” A number of very
line speeches were made. I am glad to
say that the club seems to lie in a flourish
ing condition. Most of the leading farm
ers in this section belong to the club.
Among other things the dinner Saturday
was highly enjoyable.
Invitations are out for an ice cream sup
per to-morrow night, to be given at the
residence of Col. Ben. Jennings, compli
mentary to visiting young ladies.
Our gun club had a practice ball shoot
ing Friday. Waddell made tiie best
record, breaking 12 balls in 12 shots. Be
low is the score:
Boykin’s Team—W. J. Boykin 7, Wad
dell 12, Ware 10, Pitts 3, Greene 3—35.
Lindsay’s Team—-Lindsay 7, Strong 10,
Uuerry S } Jennings 5, Bellamy 4—34.
The Ciceronians will have a public de
bate at the academy Friday night. The
query is: “Should a representative he gov
erned by the will of his constituents?” All
are invited to attend.
Quarterly meeting for this circuit will
be held at Hatchechubbe Saturday and
Sunday.
Charley Mayes, of Enon, spent Sunday
here.
Dr. Wooldridge, of Crawford, was in

in ill IIranches of
New York, June 25.—Special telegrams |
to Bradstreet's show that the movement;
of general merchandise at nearly all promi
nent distributing centres continues of
moderate proportions. New Orleans forms
a noteworthy exception, as the manufac
turing industries there are busy and the
crop prospect is favorable. At leading
centers there is considerable con
fidence in the prospect of fall
trade, grocery, dry goods, hardware,
and dealers in other lines looking ahead to
increased demands alter the close of the
dull season. Domestic money markets are
generally quiet, with offerings in excess of
demand. At St. Louis, Kansas City, St.
Joseph and ililwa tkee money is in more
active request from manufacturers, jobbers,
and in some instances from the wool dis
tricts. It is noticeable that collections have
improved at the southwestern points named
indicating a freer movement of products.
The New York stock market has been less
buoyant, though the control of thebull
cliques see ins none tiie less strong. Unfa
vorable events, the Chicago switchmen's
strike and extensive rate cutting in the
northwest, make their task difficult, and
whenever left to themselves pi ices show a
decline. Bonds are very strong and active.
Money is plentiful, call’ loans averaging 2
per cent. Commercial paper is dull and
scarce. Exchange is strong, _ and
gold is shipped in limited quantities.
Wool is the only staple which
has shown any marked advance from the
extreme low level of prices generally. It
is 2(q3u higher at seaboard than on June 1..
Mill purchases, as well as speculative buy
ing, have helped this, although the Lon
don sales, with a gain of '20(iy25c in prices,
have had a good deal to do with it.
Woolen goods are stronger in consequence,
and there has been a noticeable gain in

Talbot County, Ga., June 28.—One of
the greatest rainfalls that we have wit
nessed in a long time fell in the eastern
portion of this county on yesterday, and
as the lands have been too wet for almost
three weeks past, we have serious fears for |
great injury to bottom lands that are in
cultivation and the entire cotton crop. ]
Farmers are behind with their operations
and badly in the grass, so to speak, as it
has been impossible to work by reuson of j
so much rain. Upland corn we think is l
the best in years, and where cotton has.
been worked it is looking well.
Politics and wet weather is the all-absorb- i
ing theme with our pieople, the gubernato- !
rial canvass predominating by a very de
cided majority. General Gordon will se
cure the delegation front this county on i
the 17tli of next month by the primary
system, if reports from the different sec
tions of the county are at all reliable. We
fiave not seen so much enthusiasm since ,
the war as is exhibited by the Gordon men,
and as General Gordon is announced to !
speak in Talbolton on the 6th of July, it
will prove one of tiie greatest ovations
that has taken place since the war. Circu- |
lars announcing that General Gordon will
address the voters of the county at Talbot-
ton have been posted at cross-roads and
upon every suitable place that will attract
our attention. He will be met at Bostick
by a large delegation of citizens as well as
the Gordon club of Talbot county and a
“brass band.”
The democratic executive committee of
this countv has been requested to meet to
day, in Talbotton, for transaction of busi
ness. As the congressional convention
will meet in LaGrange on the 20th of July,
and “our” nomination by the primary
system is on the 17th, we presume the ob
ject in calling a meeting of the committee,
is to call a mass meeting at the court house
on the 6th of July, to nominate delegates
so the county can be represented in-said
convention. Colonel Grimes, will be en
dorsed by our county almost unanimously.
We have four candidates seek
ing honors in the lower
house of the legislature. Mr. Jas. F. Little
we think is the most popular candidate in
“our”section for the position, and we think
his chances good to be nominated on the
17th. If either of the gentlemen that are
aspiring for legislators sueceed ( you may
write it down old Talbot w til not be
ashamed when the roll is called.
We hear of a great deal of sickness
throughout the comity. Dysentery is rag
ing principly among the children with
fearful fatality. We are enjoying peaches,
armies and vegetables in great abundance.
Yours, S. B. B.

The ligypthms, though titty may not

apprehensions of cannibalism. All day long

in their case indifference is begotten of a
preposterous prosperity. So consequential
are they that they do not move out of tlie
road, and the Arab, when he stum
bles over them, swears at them, but never
molests them. The bazaars are full of
them, and they tight and make love in the
thoroughfares in broad daylight as if it
were the most natural tiling in the world
for cats to do so. Till then I had thought
Grimalkin was a nocturnal beast. For in
Europe we are accustomed lo see them

Cheap Drink in Da
Indian Good Templar.
Burniah is a fearful place for cheap
drink and heavy crime; the natives manu
facture what is called Sham-sho: it is sup
posed to be made from rice aud lime. One
may form an idea of its power when 1
assure that it will dissolve a Martini-Henry
bullet in 30 minutes. It burns the inside
out of those who drink it. and I am afraid
it will play fearful havoc among our troops
before the summ< r is past. We are glad
to hear from the same source that
determined efforts are being made
by Burmah Good Templars to sup
press the sale of this fiery poison,
and they have no doubt that the govern
ment will take action shortly in the mat
ter in their own interest, if not in that of
the temperance cause. Among other
doubtful mercies, Burmah will be favored
with a revised abkarry ruling, which is
sure to moderate the strength ofthis dread
ful poison. Much mote to the point are
those efforts now being made by members
of our order to have temperance pledges
widely circulated and an alliance formed
against the ruinous traffic.

Mrs. Phoebe C’hesley, Peterson, Clay C’o.,
Iowa, tells the following remarkable story,
the truth of which is vouched for by the
residents of the town : “I am 73 years old,
have been troubled with kidney complaint
and lameness for many years; could not
dress myself without help. Now 1 am free
from all pain and soreness, and am able to
do all my own housework. I owe my
thanks to Electric Bitters for having re
newed my youth, and removed completely
all disease and pain.”
