Joe Brown, who has abstained from any positive statement till he had thorough ly overhauled all the returns and the facts, now declares he is prepared to say that Mr. Tilden has carried this State fairly and honestly. His majority is positive and ample. We shall be able to show it before any fair or just tribunal. If it should be overthrown by an authority determined to trample over everything we shall be a! le to present the matter to the American people in such a shape that it could not bo sus tained a single month. It is a curions fact that the admission of Colorado into the union as a State lias kicked up all this excitement. If Col orado had not been admitted Tilden would have had a clear majority wi h out the doubtful States and one to spare. There was no good reason for the admission of Colorado. Its popu lation is not sufficient to entitle it to a a member of Congress. But the Demo cratic Bouse of Representatives went in for admitting her and probably for political reason. —Boston Herald. ♦ <t g th +.

ITS EARLY COMPLETION CERTAIN. It affords us intense gratification to announce that arrangements have been entered into with some of the largest capitalists of the South looking to the early completion and equipment of the road. Work will perhaps commence in the early part of next j ear, and thus will be completed another link in the great Western and Atlantic seaboard route. Look out for the engine! The Eumboody Family, We were somewhat surprised yester day to hear a distinguished attorney profess ignorance in relation to this large and influential family. When Abel was murdered by his brother Cain, Abel Bumboody, jr., the founder of the family was left an orphan. His descendants were numerous. One of the female members of the family became notorious by being preserved in salt, and it is said that the body is still in a goad state of preservation, and can be seen by travel ers near where the city of Sodom once stood. At the time Noah and his family took the great sea voyage, one of the girls smuggled a sweetheart into the quarterdeck of the ship, and by this means the great family of Bumboodys was preserved. It may be necessary to state that the couple were married after the voyage, and that they lived happily thereafter. Sineo that time the family have lived and thrived, until row it may be said to be the largest family treated of in the unwritten history of the world. In the great wars this family has always borne a conspicuous part. In the dark ages they figured largely, and perhaps did as much to bring about this darkpe riod as all other causes combined. In tho late war they were also conspicuous on both sides, and in the Franco Ger man affair they were not idle, and they wield a great influence in seeking to bring about a great war with the na tions of Europe. But for the Bumboo dys Louisiana, South Carolina and Flor ida would have been counted for Tilden without delay, and but for this same family peace an quiet would reign su preme between the,North and South to day. Don’t know the Bumboodys? Such ignorance is criminal! * Woman's Mission. The ladies interested in the comple tion of the Presbyterian church in El berton having formed themselves into a sewing society for the purpose of raising means, we may look forward to the fin ishing of that edifice at no distant day. First in every good work, our noble wo men—God bless them !—enter upon Ihe execution of no duty without success in view. There may be those who think this last organisation will cause strife between that and the older club; but in this they make a great mistake. There will be a generous rivalry, a noble emu lation, as to who can best work and best agree—only this and nothing more. - Ladies in Court. Misses Siddy Baker ar.d Matt Vail were brought before the Town Council one night last week for fighting. One of the main weapons used in this little affair, shown by the evidence, was an axe, which was deftly manipulated by one of the heroines, who also boasted, after the affair was over, that she knew how to handle a knife in a scientific manner. They were both mulcted in appropriate fines for fighting, and the knife exhibition cost just $2.50 by way of liccense. ❖<£— Our Washington Correspondent. We present an interesting letter from Washington this week concerning the effects of the election in administration circles. * We are glad to announce that we have secured the services of an accom - plished gentleman at political head quarters as our correspondent for the coming season, whose letters will be found to fully set forth the matters of interest at the national capital in an attractive form. * Going, Going, Gone! Messrs. Jas. A. Sanders & Son give further notice to their “dear” patrons who are behindhand that they must have a settlement of some satisfactory char acter by the Ist of December, or all accounts will be put in execution. This course they prefer not to resort to, and will do so only in case of neccessity. S. N. Carpenter, Esq., is their attor ney, who will always be found ready to i dispose of these little matters. Tilden's Colors Hauled Down, The high winds that prevailed early in the week so dilapidated the mammoth Tilden and Hendricks banner that swung across the public square that the mar shal had it removed yesterday to prevent the frightening of horses. Enshrine din the hearts of every lover of republican government, no outward symbol is ne cessary to evince respect for our Presi dent and Vice-President elect. Carpets. Attention is directed to the advertise ment of Jas G. Baibe & Bro, who are so well known to our citizens that it would be almost useless to mention their excellent business character. At this establishment you can find what you want, and the goods you buy will always be of the character repre sented. This is a good house ran by good men. •*•<£**♦ - - Odd-Fellows. Another and last attempt will be made to organise a lodge of Odd-Fellows in Elberton to-morrow night. Let there be a good turn out, that a lodge of this excellent order may bo established here. Here and There. i Liberty! i Colds prevalent. County Court busy. Now for the match hunt. Make ’simmon beer. ’Ti; good. Sedulously labors the sewing clubs. Gossips are going it with a high hand. ‘■But don't yer be a grievin’ after me.” “Reform” is now the motto for every body. Elbeiton the illumination night was lively 0 Well, why not have another sociable*, young folks? Elberton was gloriously mirthful last Tuesday night. Sunday was a day of a great deal of damp, wet weather. Ruckersville has a flourishing Sunday school. A good enterprise. Spread the joyful news that the coun try is redeemed. Glory ballilujah ! Col. J. Ben Almond, is the new City Parient- Three “chairs” for Benjamin! The Town Council feels elated be cause it has been getting in a few paltry fines. The atmosphere about town will have to improve beforo it will be literary worth a cent. The singing class still continues to meet, and the way it warbles is astonish ing in the extreme. The effect of the strike of tho engin eers of the Georgia railroad is felt here in no small degree. The negroes are having hot suppers again, and the average African is happy “till yer can’t rest.” Candidates are stirring now like bees in a hive. The longest pole knocks down the persimmon. “ ’Rah for Nathan Hampton!” some one is reported as having shouted the night of the illumination. Buffoonery is too often indulged in by some of our young men who delight in being called humorists. The schools in the country will soon be giving recesses for the holidays, and Elberton small boy rejoices. The first man in town the apple vend ers are directed to is Mr. Brewer Tate, and he is sure to strike a trade. 11 takes an adept narrator to excel the Elberton miss in relating the origin of the adage “count three before you speak once.” The wind blew so boisterously Mon day morning that the Tilden banner was severed in twain. It was also a bad day on Tillers. A singing convention was held at Henry’s church, Hart county, last week. Elbert was largely represented, we un derstand Yes, and the courthouse stood the heavy gale the other day which is anoth er uncontrovertable argument that it needs no repairs t. A goodly number of our citizens in tend going to Augusta soon by boat on the Savannah. Good bye, if we shouldn’t see you any more. I Some of the negroes joined heartily in a torch light procession the other night while a few of the tainted had to go home about that time. Beaverdam creek is said to have more fish in it now than has been known in years. Some of our denizens are catch ing succors out of it in a hurry. ’7O will soon have leaped out, and girls, how much Jiave you bettered your prospects for your future? No more immunities now for four years. That, man was made to mourn is be lieved by the Elberton gent who slipped up on an orange peal the other day and sustained an ebrasure on his elbow. Col. S. Newton Carpenter, has been recently reappointed Notary Public of this militia district. Col. C. is an able lawyer, a noted jurist and a first-class N. P. Another milch cow wanted. Come right ahead with your application to this office. One with a young calf preferred. A good price in cash will be paid for a good cow. Our accomplished ycung friend, T. W. Rucker, Esq., was engineering some cases through the County Court here last week. He is a gentleman of unusu al ability. The ladies who visited Atlanta the other week procured furniture for the new Methodist church. All that is nec essary now is for the building to be completed. To be fashionable now the first thing you must do after you get in church is to take out your knife pair your naiis, whittle on the benches awhile, and then go to sleep. At the time the snow-flakes were fall ing last Sunday night, sixteen Elberton girls to be in season got their scrap i books and read the poem “Beautiful Snow ’ with becoming gravity. Tom Swift killed hogs last Monday and had all he could of the meat made into sausage. He now walks about the street as proud as Lucifer, and talks about traveling with a circus as the “fat man” before long. An enraged cow got after an Elbert girl with a cardinal red shawl on the other day, and but for the timely inter position of a passer-by the cow would have been sold next day for beef—the lady was plucky. A little negro boy in town the other day was investigating the construction of a pistol when the weapon went off, the ball going through one of his hands. He is now willing for someone else to do the inspection of fire arms. Maj. Jones got excited the other night when he thought his store was afire, and tested the solidity of his foot by kick ing at an imaginary jdoor. The side of the house was the hardest however, and the Major has since had a proud, supercil ious carriage, so much so that some folks have accused him of putting on airs. “Grace was in her steps, heaven in her eye, in every gesture, dignity and love,” was said of the Elberton girl who when witnessing the demonstrations of the boys the other night, merrily shouted “hurrah for Tilden !” Now we love our Uncle Samuel, but taking into consideration his age if he is a bachelor, we think she might have halloed for some of us nearer home. OI B WASHINGTON LETTER. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. AFTER THE BATTLE. SCENES AT THE NATION AL CAPITAL. HOW THE NEWS WERE RE CEIVED AT THE WHITE HOUSE. THE FEEL ING IN THE DEPARTMENTS HOW THE CHANGE WILL AFFECT US. THE APPROACH ING SESSION OF CONGRESS. THE GAG SEASON, THE INAUGURAL, ETC., ETC. Washington, D. C., Nov. 8, 1876. Now when the battle is over and the smoke has, in a measure, cleared away, it is interesting ■ to recall and note down the many varied scenes and incidents of the great political struggle that has just come to a close. There is no city in the Union where the result of a Presidential election is looked forward to with so much anxiety, as here, or wOcie its influence is more severely felt, for the reason that such a very large proportion of the inhabitants of Washing ton, of both sexes, are government employees, dependent for their bread and butter upon the bounty of “Uncle Sam,” and to whom a change of administration is, therefore, fraught with the most disastrous consequence. Vajvictis! is the nightmare that is haunting those unfortunate ones, and their name is legion, who, preferring the easygoing lite and munificent salary of a clerkship in one of the Depar.ments, for the harder work,|longer hours, and smaller pay of private drudgery, have left their native towns and States, backed by the requisite political in fluence, to seek a social status and political pre ferment (such as they are!) at the National Cap tal 1 It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that Washington was in a white heat of feverish ex citement last night. During the day, little or no public business had been transacted in the Departments; those of the male employees who had not “gone home to vote” assembled in groups in the halls and corridors to discuss the prospects and probabilities. Scarcely less ex citement was manifested by the lady clerks ; and for once the Centennial and the latest fashions ceased to be a subject of conversa'ion among the fair ones, and politics usurped their place. To Dot a few of these the question as to wheth er, or not, they could afford anew silk dress and winter bonnet, in which to attend the Pres idential and Cabinet receptions during the com ing season, would have to be deferred until after the result of the election became known, and would then receive a favorable answer only in the event a certain contingency—the election of the Republican candidate. Should the election go the other way, then farewelhto velvet cloaks and Parisian hats, tor the most stringent econo my would be imperative during the few mouths of office-holding that remained ! As the day wore on and despatches began to be received, the anxiety increased—especially as the news were not of a character to bring much encouragement and comfort to the anxious one3- The newspaper and telegraph offices were soon beseiged by crowds thirsting for the news, while prominent officials assembled in cosy rooms to which special wires had been conducted, and where the news were received, by the aid of an operator, direct from all parts of the country. At the White House, President Grant and a few invited guests, among whom Secretaries Fisli and Morrill, Attorney-General Taft, Generals Sherman, Barnes, Babcock and Gaton, Judge MacArilmr, and some others, were assembled in the President’s library,awaiting the news which were flashed into the ante room through a spe cial wire direct from the Western Union tele graph offices, in the Drawing-room, back of the library, were Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Sartoris (the daughter of the President), Mrs. Fish, and three or four other ladies of distinction, wliq were scarcely less anxious to hear the news than {the gentlemen. When the first despatch arrived, a little before eight o’clock, announcing that the State of New York had probably gone Demo cratic, the President said nothing but merely knocked the asiies off his cigar and sent the despatch in to Mrs. Grant. Other despatches now be an to arrive in quick succession, but nearly all of an unfavorable character, and, by degrees, the Presidential face began to lengthen and the conversation to be less animated and hopeful. Shortly after eleven o'clock, the party adjourned to the State dining-room on the floor below, where a magnificent collation had been spread, to which all present did ample justice. At 'tise Republican headquarters, on F street, there was considerable enthusiasm manifested early in the evening ; but it died out by degrees, as if a wet blanket hau been thrown over it, and by midnight the rooms were deserted. Not so at the Democratic headquarters on Seventh street, where a brass band was in attendance, and where the feeling was jubilant to the last degree. It was far into the “wee small hours of morning” before the assemblage di persed ; and all through the city might be heard the “’Rail’s for Tilden 1” but from none louder than the “fence men,” who thought their opportunity to “come over” had now arrived, and that the political somersault might be undertaken with some degree of probability that they would land upon their legs on the right side 1 To-day, the feeling of dejection and disap pointment at the Departments is very general, and while some still consider the result as doubtful, the majority have accepted the situa tion and abandoned all hope. Knowing, as they do, that “to the victors belong the spoils," they do not look for a tenure of office extending be yond the fourth of March next, when the new President takes liis seat. That event will have the effect of completely revolutionising affairs, social and otherwise, here in Washington; the circles and coteries we have known so long we shall know no more, but others will come and take their place ; prominent leaders of fashion and of society will glide into obscurity and will soon be buried under the soil of oblivion (for it is wonderful how fast we forget 1) and we shall do homage to people whose names, per haps, we do not even know now 1 As the glo ries of the second empire vanished at a single blow at Sedan, so will the social glories of this present administration vanish into thin air af ter the fourth of March, to be followed by anew order of things, which future, only, will be able to determine whether, or not, it is an improvement upon the past. That there is room for improve ment, no one wno has lived in Washington as long as has your correspondent, will venture to deny be his political complexion what it may! After the first effects of the shock shall have passed c-ff, there will be enough to entertain us and tax our energies; in the first place, Congress will soon assemble, and the very first official act of that body will be to count the electoral votes, which, in itself, is a spectacle well worth wit nessing. Then, speculations as to who will compose the next Cabinet will be in order; to be followed by the preparations for the inaugu ral of the new President, in March. Washing ton correspondents will accordingly have their hands full, and Washington intelligence will take the place of the stereotyped “Centennial notes” which must come to a close with the close ot the exhibition, two days lienee. In closing, therefore, I do not say “iarewell,” but only “au revoir 1” L.^B. Cause and Effect. An optician Las been upending a few days in Elberton, and now every third man you meet rears back bis head to look through pure pebblas and remark, “Aw, good mawring, saw.” Dr. Dead wyler, who invested in a pair of patent spring fop glasses, thinks he would have seen three times as much at the centen nial had he purchased before his trip. Brick House for Sale.— A good brick dwelling bouse in Elberton desirably lo cated is offered for sale by Mv. Peter Garrecht, on terms to suit the times. Apply at this office or to Mr. Peter Gar j recht for particlars. The New Ohurch. “When will the new Methodist church bo finished ?” is a question we hear al most daily, and tho usual answer to the query is that “money is needed.” Now it seems to us that the frequency of the inquiry and the not seldom answer thereto have been ample to acquaint every one in town and county of the state of affairs in reference to the matter without further questioning, and in fu ture instead of asking the cause of the non-completion of the house call on the committee and lend a helping hand by giving pecuniary aid. The ladies who have interested themselves in this en terprise have striven ncbly to accom plish the consummation of the work— the perseverance and zeal they have man ifested in the matter is seldom seen, and no one has expressed an opinion save in a commendatory manner of their exer tions, and that they have done their part fully no one denies. Come up ye lords of creation and erase from the pub lic’s eye your apparent closefisttdness. Our Military. Much has been said in these columns as to the need and advantages of a mili tary company among us, with a view to induce the people to give to such an or ganization their co-operation and sup port, but as yet excepting the construc tion of tho Jeff Davis Guards and what they have done little else has been tho result. It appears to us that this com pany should resolve itself into a com mittee of the whole, and either push matters to an equipment of its men or else disband and distribute the funds raised by their exertions as they may see proper. What is the use of having a company in our midst that to all appear ances is latent in its movements or desti tute of life? State aid in our opinion is out of the question, and the only way we see for the success of the Guards is a study pull by each and every member in its interest. The times are becoming better we hope, and if everybody will do what they can success will be the conse quence What say you, boys? Housekeeping in the Blue Grass. This is the title of a handsome little cook book gotten up by accomplished ladies of Kentucky, which contains near ly a thousand recipes, many of them new, and all of them tried and known to be valuable. Mrs. J B. Morton, of El berton, is the agent of the work, the profits arising from the sale of which she proposes to donate to the Presbyterian church of this place. Every lady in this county should in vest $1.50 in the book, because it is well, known that the surest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. We have had this demonstrated practically for the past twelve years. Elberton Another Year. In towns the size of this as the old year draws near a close, changes in busi nees and residence is being talked of, and the curious are anxious to know the dif ference between Elberton of ’7B and of ’77. As yet we desist from making pub lic the probable material changes that is rumored to be effected, but judging the future by the past we feel safe in saying that Elberton next year will be an improvement on this, and in due time will make note of the changes. That our town is every year growing and improving is an agreeable certainty. Personal. We were glad to meet our clever and talented friend Rev. Geo. Bonner, who passed through town yesterday, on his way from Rabun county to bis father’s home in Columbia county His lady accompanied him, and he was in exuberant spirits and good health. He stated that at a recent meeting in Rabun under his charge he had about sixty con versions and about forty accessions to bis church. He is a rising young minis ter and we wish him success. Mr Jas. E. Herndon Jr., has furnish ed us with one of the largest redishes we ever saw. We think this will last us till Christmas, by which time we hope to receive another of the same size to bridge the winter.
