The government is still discussing the the question how to Ute-ilize the Indians. The best argument seems to be after Ben Butler’s idea conceding the Chinese. The banks are going to entirely ig nore that weak eight per cent, asuiy law. If enforced, it will make it al most impo ssible to borrow money in Georgia. The death of General Joe Hooker is announced. It occurred Thursday after noon at Garden City, Long Island. He had been in nsnal health until within an hour before his decease. We always were reckless in any great danger. When the pick-pocket alarm was given the other night in Macon, we remained as calm and fearless as if we had keen in the charge at Balaklava, Would it be treasonable in a little country newspaper to rise in its place and ask. wbat has become of the ‘‘Lirect Trade” movement in which many of our people took stock a few years ago? It died a very quiet death it seems. The Georgia Press colninn of the M cou Telegraph is now edited by X. I. E., (otherwise by Mr. Harry S. Edwards, a young journalist of brilliant promise. Mr. Reese, on acounb of bad health, has made his X, I. T. and gone on a sea voyage. Sir Stafford Northcote, replying to a lrtter calling his attention to the popu lar distress iu Ireland, states that he sympathizes with the people, but can only refer them to Irian Executive. He adds that direct interposition by the government would be open to great ubuses. Yesterday’s dispatches;report,tbat the Democrats have elected all their State officers in New.York except the.Gover- noriby a majority-estimated at 30,000. Gov. Robinson is defeated by Cornell Republican, by a* plurality of abont 15,000. Kelley,j£tlie TammaDy candi date for Governor goiabout 40,000 votes in the City of New York, and a small Tote only in the State.. The election returns are not full, but republican gains are reported in Penn sylvania. In Massachusetts Butler is defeated Long, Republican, beiDg elected Gov ernor by abont 15,000 majority. In Virginia the party favoring the founding of the State debt is donbtless elected OTer the scalers. The Democrats carry Mississippi, Zazoo goes Democratic. Illinois goes Republican, of course, bat not by* any nottblA increased ma jority. In Wiectnsin the Republicans make a gain of some G,G00, electing their state ticket. - In Connecticut the Radicals again get a majority in the. Legislature. Nebraska goes Radical by 12,000 ma jority. Minnesota ditto. New Jersey gives ' the Radicals con trol of the Legislature again by a small majority. While Tuesday’s election will canse the Democrats to expect a very bard fight next year, the Radicals can by no means expect to win the Presidency without doiDg llieir best. CAPTURING AN IRON CLAD,. Considerable excitement- was caused on the Liverpool Cotton Exchange Friday. Most of the brokers who bud sold for October delivery were unable to deliver the staple, and were compelled to sub mit to a farthing per pound penalty be sides losing the difference iu price, in many cases a penny per ponnd. A Vienna dispatch is published in lbs Paris journals, stating that Englaud has sent an ultiman to the Porte deraandiug the execution of reforms iu Asiatic Tur key. If the demand is not complied with, the Sultan will be desposed, and replaced by bis brother, under the tu telary supervision of England, France and Austria. This report is probably greatly exaggerated. The yellow fever epidemic in Mem phis was decided at an end on the 24th. There was one new case, however, the next day. There had been frost the day before, and on that day there was a thin coating of ice on pools of water, A Steamboat arrived from St. LoniB, the first that had been nt the whnr£ since July 24tb. The whole country will rejoice that the terrible epidemic is at end. Full details of the capture of the Pe ruvian iron clad Huascar have been re ceived. It seems that the two Peruvi an ships, Huascar and Union, went south, and captured the Chillian schooner Coquiinbo, On the morning of the 6th of October, they learned of an attempt to be made to land a strong Chillian force at Iquique or seme other point on the coast of Peru. Proceed ing north to prevent this, they encoun tered two divisions of the Chillian navy and a fight began. The Union made her esoape, and left the Hanscar to do battle nloue against overwhelming odds, After obstinate arid gallant resistance, in which Admiral Gran was killed, the Huascar surrendered. When the new reached Lima, a subscription list was opened for money with which to build another gunboat to be called the Admi ral Grau, and two hundred thousand soles were subscribed the first day. The capture of the Huascar has not had the effect of dampening the arder of the Peruvians. Great enthusiasm prevails in Lima, and the determination is ex pressed to fight it out to the end, either until victory is secured or all is lost. It is reported that the wife of Admiral Grau was so overcome by the news of his death that she died soon aflerxcm ds. A Cabul dispatch reports that sixty persons have been examined since the trial of the mutineers began, and eleven persons have been hanged for the mas sacre of the British Embassy. The in nocence of the Ameer is still far-from clear. The New York Unsays the foremost Republican candidate for President at present is General Grant; and his name is already generally and openly associa ted with the proposition to essentially change and strengthen the Executive Department of the government. It is even unhesitatingly advised that the* of fice of President shall be conferred on General Grant for life, and that his son. now Colonel Grant., shall succeed him. Gen. Sherman has presented his an nual report to theSsretary of War. • He states that the army consists of 2,187 officers 24,262 enlisted men, and 888 re tired offices. Of -this force 3,463 Pn - listed men are detailed on special duty, and the real combative force consists of 11 Generals, 1,559 officers, 20,566 men and 233 Indian scouts. The Gen eral thinks that under these circum stances the army should not be held re sponsible for the work of 25,000 men* He wants the effective force of the army raised to the latter figure, He gives a history of the outbreak of the Utes, and, as far as is known, of the operations against the Apaches in New Mexico. He also recommends the con struction of fortifications on the North* ern frontier, in view of possible troub- es with Sitting Bull’s Indians. At Toccoa last Friday afternoon, a child about twelve days old was found on a seat in the Air-Line train, which left Atlanta at 3.-30 p. m. Its mother could not be found. The conductor Jeft the baby with a lady at Greenville. It is ascertained that the mother got off between Mount Airy and Toccoa, and the little waif will be handed over to her as soon as her whereabouts can be ascertained. The Denver Tribune does no give cre dence to the story that the Ute hostili ties had their origin in the ploughing of a piece of ground by order of Agent Meeker. Intimates that the diffcnlty was precipitated by the sudden disap pearance and supposed murder of an old Chief named Colorow, who had or dered a trespassing miner off his premi ses. It is known that the miner got a gun, and in company -vith others went in search of the old chief, and that, the latter has disappeared.

H._ Eddy, of Boston, has sent a letter to Mayor Prince, proposing that the city lay out and’-dedicate a circular space at the inter section of Commonwealth ave nue and Westchester Park, to be used as the site for a triumphal arch to com*, memorate the birth of the nation. On the third day of September, 1783, peace between Great Britain and tho revolted colonies was signed. Thus September 3, 1883, will be the centennial anniver sary of of that act, and this, he thinks would be an eminently proper occasion for laying the comer stone of the pro posed arch.

Imitating the Motheb Countby.— Great Britain will have to look out, or some of her colonies will go ahead of her in the line of public debts.
