The reader will find the lnsido pages of this paper unusually interesting and at tractive to-day. Our sympathiesaro tendered the propri etors of the Hawkinsville News in the loss of their office and fixtures by fire, on last Wednesday morning. President Arthur and party spent Thurs day ami Friday in Savannah. They were hospitably entertained by tiie good citi zens of tiro “Forest City.” The greatest victory the best man who over lived has achieved, in the battle of life, was when he said, openly and honestly, I have done wrong, and ask forgiveness. It is a duty every good citizen owes him self and the State to cast a ballot, to-day, for H. D. McDaniel for Governor. Cer tainly every democrat should go to the polls and uphold the Hag of Ids party. Dr. A. W. Calhoun of Atlanta was chosen president of the Medical Association of Georgia at the recent convention at Ath ens. Tiie next convention will be held at Macon on the 3d Wednesday in April, 1884. Gov. Boynton Issued ou the 18lh inst., a fifty-thousand dollar bond of 50 years, to tiie Trustees of the State University on the Brown donation. Attorney General Clif ford Anderson • advised the issue. Gen. Toombs protested. Princess Louise camo near being burned up in her house at Bermuda, and lately her estimable spouse applied for police protec tion in Boston. It used to bo fun to bo a scion of royalty, but now it is actually im aginatively risky. The new “Married Woman’s Property -Vet” in England encourages a woman to lend money to anybody except her hus band. It enables her to sue him and to be witness against him. It also renders her liable to maintain both her husband and her children. Hawkinsville lias suffered from another disastrous lire, cu the morning or the 19th inst, about 1 o’clock, by which eight business houses were destroyed. Esti mated loss about $30,000.

As soon as a young man and young woman are engaged in Norway, no matter in what rank of life, betrothal rings are exchanged. The rings are worn ever af terward by the men as well as the women. The consequence is that one can always tell a married, or at least an engaged man in Norway. Dr. Orr, in a s[>eecii before the Baptist convention which met at Griffin last week, said: “Of two things theipoliticians may take note; First, that it will bo popular to ad vocate education for all the children of Georgia. Second, the liquor traffic is doomed, and they had better feet ou the prohibition platform." We have been taught to liate Wendell Phillips, one of the pioneers of abolition ism, but. the followlnfe will go far towards reconciliation; “Wendell Phillips’ wile has been an inva lid tor over thirty years, and during all 'this time tiie great orator has been untir ing in Ills attention to her. "No one but you i:au know wtiat It has been to care for her,” was remarked to him recently. “Ah ! No ono but me knows how good she is,” was Iti^ heartsome answer.

A close inspec tion of their advertisement in another col umn will put the reader in possession of tiie ways and means to obtain the neces sary information to direct them.

For beauty, price and durability, they cannot be ex celled ; specimens of which can be seen at our cemetery. He is also agent for Marble and Granite Monuments, llis work is all done north, and he does not fear competi tion either In price or workmanship. 17 Cm The Atlanta Evening Star thus alludes to one of the old democratic panel or Geor gia: Hon. David J. Bailey, one of the most learned men of our times, is still in Atlan ta. Col. Bailey was a member of Con gress in 1851, having defeated Hon. At>- salom H. Chappell, the latter a Whig. At the next election, still a Demi>crat, ho de feated Hon. Robert Trippe for Congress, and retired from public life in 185G. Col onel Bailey is a gentleman of the old school, and though his whited locks in dicate old ago, lie is still vigorous and as erect as an Indian of the forest. Georgia holds few more gifted men than he, and it is a wonder that he has been so long in retirement. Strikes.—What Is the meaning of the strikes that arc constantly taking place in the manufacturing establishments all over the North if tiie protective tariff is doing such wonderful things for them as the protectionists are so porsistantly de claring. Why the terrible scenes at Springfield, Illinois, recently where that guns, pistols and rifles were used and one or two were killed and several others were badly wounded. The strikers want better pay, for clothing, living and everything is so high they cannot live on their wages. Wo think it is time for the Protectionists tojjxplam those matters to the satisfaction of the people, or stop bragging or the great blessing their policy bestows upon the operatives. The fatal first ballot that caused the loss of so much money was the result not of the Constitution's table, but from Burke and Hancock voting ten votes for Bacon, when both had been instructed to vote dif ferently—Burke for Hon. J. J. Jones and Hancock for Hon. H. D. McDaniel. That was what upset the table and turned some men’s pockets wrong side oat.— Union f Recorder. Or course it wasn't the result of the Con- stitution’s table. It grew out of Hie fact that Bacon had more supporters than Boynton iu the convention. The Hancock delegates were not instructed to vote for McDaniel. They were known to be Bacon men and a resolution, strongly indorsing his candidacy, was passed. Col. Jones was not a candidate and the Burke dele gates were Instructed for Bacon, in the event the name of the former was Dot be fore the convention. It is strange that our contemporary should charge the up setting of the Constitution’s table to a vio lation of instructions by the Burke ami Hancock delegates when the table in ques tion gave those delegates to Baeon ! Too thin, old gentleman, too thin .’—Telegraph A Messenger. Tho writer did not see the proceedings of the Hancock meeting as published, and was guided by a remark of a Hancock man to the effect that the oounty was for McDaniel, almost solid. But let It be as our friend Lewis of the Telegraph and.Mes- senger says, and the case is not altered. The six votes of Burke county were sa credly pledged to be cast for Hon. J. J. Jones by a public meeting, and every man outside of Burke county believed they would bo so cast. Had they been given to Mr. Jones instead of to Mr. Bacon, the vote on the first ballot would have stood t Boynton, 139 7-15; Bacon, 139 2-15; McDan iel, 3611-15; Cook 14 1-3; Jones 6. Thus Boynton would have got the highest vote on the first ballot. Thus It will be seen that had the result been this way, those who bet on Boynton leading Bacon on the first ballot would have won. PROGRESS OF THE RIVAL PARTIES. The people, since the war, have been gradually and constantly growing sicker of the follies and vices of the Republican party. We want our readers to notice that we seldom deal In glittering generali ties. We rather think we can do that up to the hub, if we try, but the times are too serious for that. So that, as a general rule, we now overthrow the romantic and picturesque in style, and come down to plain and honest statements of facts. Well, let us see whether the statement we make in the first sentence above, is true or not. How will we arrive at the truth about it? We know of no better plan than to go to tiie polls to sustain the declaration. In 18G4, the Republican vote for Presi dent, was 2,21G,067; the Democratic vote was 1,808,725—Republican majority 407,342. Iu 1SGS, Republican 3,015,071; Democratic 2,7o9,liI3.—Republican majority 305,458. Thus it will be seen the Republican major ity was reduced 101,884. In 187G, the Republican vote was 4,284,205, the Democratic vote 4,508,447. Instead of a Republican majority, the Democratic majority was 224,182. We do not profess perfect accuracy iu this last statement. We saw the Republican vole put at 4,284,- 205. We knew that the Democratic vote for Mr. Tilden was a K-w votes less than a quarter of a million more than the vote given to Mr. Hayes, anil hence put it at tiie above figures. In 1880, Mr. Garfield’s vote was 4,449,053; Gen. Hancock’s, 4,442,035, only 7,018 votes less than Mr. Garfield’s. But General Weaver, tiie Greenback candidate, receiv ed 307,30C votes. Mr. Garfield was there fore elected by a plurality vote. It was well known that the Greenbackers were more favorable to the Democrats than to the Keputilieans. Doubtless General Han cock would have been elected if General Weaver had not been a candidate. We have no doubt, whatever, that he would have succeeded over both, if he had not been too partial to tho Tariff Protection ists. He was a native of Pennsylvania, a Strong protective tariff state, and proba bly hoped liis native State would sustain him. Now, during all those long years the Democrats were gaining upon the Repub lican protectionists. We ask then, what sense is thero in tho cry or some of our Democratic protectionists, that opposition to protection will defeat tho Democratic party in 1S84? If wo wished to destroy the chances of Democratic success in 1884, we could devise no better scheme to effect it, than to mislead the Democrats in to tho support of the Republican high pro tective doctrine. Let common sense have fair play. THE TRIALS IN IRELAND. •Too Brady was found guilty and sen tenced lobe hanged on tho 14th of May. Curley, who was tried next, was also con victed by the jury, and sentenced to be hanged on tho 18th of tiie same month. They were convicted mainly upon testimo ny of tiie informer, Carey. It has of ten been said there is honor among thieves. With more reason should there be honor among men who have combined together to protect their country against their cruel oppressors. We do not justify the acts ot men who form associations, uuder oaths of secrecy, to rid their coun try of tiie oppressor’s yoke, to the extent of murdering certain parties who do every thing in tlitir power to deprive then* of their just rights and take from them tho last hope or redress. Carey testified before the court and jury, that he was one of the prime movers in the murder of Mr. Burke, but said he w as under compulsion. Pressed to tiie wail by Brady's counsel, lie finally admitted, that he was not under compul sion w hen lie pointed out Mr. Burke to file assassins and urged tiie murderers to re member Unit the man clad in a gray suit was Mr. Ruike. It was shown that he was in tho cab that contained the men, that lie w as the lirst man to suggest that dag gers be used, and that lie afterwards sug gested that those daggers, with which tiie crime was committed, should be put on exhibition as national relics. It was no Wonder therefore, that Brady’s counsel should denounce him as the murderer, as tiie man whoso hands wore steeped in blood. Who could believe such a villain upon bis oath? If he was the prime mover in the murder, if lie placed his deadly eye upon his victim aud doomed hint to tiie sacrifice, the illusive pretence of a patri otic net in defence of his down trodden country, is dissolved in his baseness as an in former against ills friends and accom plices. lie sneaks into the presence of the officials, in violation of ids oath of secrecy, and after obtaining a promise of pardon for himself and brother, betrays them to the vengeful minions of tiie oppressor. Wo maintain that no liiglitoned civilized government had the right to convict l.ra- ily aud Curley upon the testimony of such a scoundrel. He violated Ids oath of secro- sy in the first place. He swore to a lie when he said he was acting under compul sion, anil had to admit it before tho court and jury. What confidence can be putin the testimony of Kavanah, who swore, in the preliminary investigation, that he drove Delaney to the scene of murder with Carey and, at tiie trial, said, he had made a mistake that it was Smith and not De laney. There was no haste, nothing at the lirst investigation to prevent his having a peiTeet consciousness of tho parties in the cab. He saw them get in and lie saw them get out. Tho world will bo apt to believe that Carey was the head and front of tiie assassination and that he participated in striking the blows that destroyed the lives of Mr. Burke and Lord Cavendish. The spirts of his victims, shrieking upon the night winds, and their pale forms, marked with blood, like avengers, have followed him. He lias trembled ever since in fear of the hangman’s rope. But tiie deed was done. Somebody committed it, and the frightened and cowardly wretch lias de vised a plan to save his own neck from the halter. Brady and Curley affirm their in nocence. Curley when asked if he had any thing to say why the sentence of death should not be pronounced upon him, said: He lia.il not expected any mercy frcea the Court. It was very unfortunate, he said that the Irish Bench was never without a Norburg.'or a Keogh. He admitted that he was a member of the Invineibles, but declared that he was not in Phoenix Park on the evening when the murders were committed. Curley said that he loved his country and could suffer for her. He declared that the witnesses, who had testified for the crown, had perjured them selves. He alsoi said ho was a Fenian. After being sentenced as tiie officers were taking him from the dock he cried out in a loud voice, “God save Irelaud!" If these bravo and faithful sons of Ireland die up on the gibliet, on the testimony of Carey, it will put a stain upon the namo of Eng land that time can never efface.

Old Times at the Old Capital. THE RECORD IN A FAMOUS GUBER NATORIAL CONTEST. The following nows paragraph iloating about, and brought up in tiie Evening Graphic or Macon, of the 15th iust., affords the writer a text for the present week un der the familiar head at tiie top of this article. The paragraph alluded to is this: “In the gubernatorial convention of 1857, when Hon. J. E. Brown won as dark horse on the twenty-first ballot, he received ev ery vote, except one, and that one was east by General B. W. Heard, of Washing ton.” Tho Convention above alluded to, to nominate a candidate of the Democratic partv of Georgia assembled at Milledge ville, in the Old Capitol, Wednesday, June 24tli, 1857. Col. Eoaiax, of Muscogee, a Bayard, so to 8|>oak, was chosen Presi dent of tho Convention. The gentlemen who were voted for for Governor, were J. H- Lumpkin, H.G. Lamar, James Gardner, Hiram Warner, Win. H. Stiles. The first ballot was, Lumpkin, 112, Lamar, 97,Gard ner, 100, Warner, 53, Stiles, 35. The strug gle was kept up with the lirst four named candidates up to and through Die 20th ballot, which stood, Lumpkin, 1G3, Lamar, 175, Warner, 1, H. V. Johnson, 11, Wright of Floyd, 5, John E. Ward, 3, Jos. E. Brown, 3. After this ballot, Mr. Hull of Clarke, moved the appointment of a committee of three from eaeli Congressional District to “report a mode in which this conven tion can bo harmonious, and a nonina- tion be made.” The Convention adjourn ed, on Friday, 1, p. m. to 2 o’clock, p. m. to hear from the Committee. At 2 p. m. the Convention met. lion. Isaiah T. Irwin of Wilkes county. Chair man of tiie committee of 24, addressed the Convention, and submitted “as the action of tho Committee, tiie unanimous selection of lion. Joseph E. Brown, of the county of Cherokee, for Governor”. The Convention unanimously et. iorsed the report of the Committee of 24. If “Mr. B. W. Heard of Washington voted alone against tiie report of the Committee” the records di> not show it. There was no 21st ballot, in fact there was no ballot on which Hon. Joseph E. Brown “won as a dark hors.” He was the child of compromise, and was niado tiie candidate in Committee of the whole. These facts are taken from the record before me, and not from memory, or hearsay, lion. J. II. Lumpkin was the strongest man from tho start—but liis fair eminence made him tiie point of attack by the friends of every other as pirant and he fell with all his antagonists on that memorable day. FI BE! FIBE!! FIRE!!! The Dutchman who shouted the above words in tiie streets of Philadelphia, 80 years ago, and when accosted by hun dreds of excited people with tho inquiry, "where is tiie lire?” replied, “in mine plpee,” was a real benefactor to the city, because the pimple saw what might have been, and they went at once to provide against a calamity by lire. Well, we haven't had a tire in Milledgeville, worth talking about, in a groat many years. Whothor our good fortune is owing to luck, or the absence of any machine to put lire out, tiiis deponent saitii not words to that point. But, we have been woiul- eriuliy preserved against that one ele ment,' thank God. But Providence will not, anil ought, not, help people who do not help themselves. When a lire comes, and sweeps away a block of buildings, and our pretty trees about of them, we meet on the corners and talk about it. Every man is in favor ot buying a steam fire engine, some want two and a hook and ladder company thrown in. The ashes are hot til n-the fire is smouldering then, perhaps over the charred bones of a young man who ventured In too late—and ali agree that it is the great need of the city to have better facilities for fighting the fire fiend. But just as soon as the ashes get cold—the present danger forgotten— men tel a [iso into their old negligent ways. The city ought b> have a first class steam fire engine. Not alone to protect people’s property, but to reduce the enor mous insurance rates put upon us now. The little city of Hawkinsville, and tho town of Waynesboro, a mere village, have lirst class steam fire engines, and the pres ence of the engine and its com pan v. makes insurance L less there than in Miliedge- vllleon similar property. Wo are going too slow in this matter. We are grow ing old Fogyieh in our ways, and if we don’t mind the moss will cover us, and we will rot. SUNDAY TRAINS ON RAILROADS. The writer will find opposed to his views i on this particular subject, many men— I some of them good men as the world goes. I But no man who believes in the truths ! of Scripture, or in the laws of Nature, will ! dispute our proposition, Viz; that no railroad train of any namo or character j can be run on the Sabbath day without j Incurring Divine displeasure. The lan- i guage of the bible is plain—no man can 1 mistake it. IT it applies to one man, or one business, it applies to all. Tiie com mandment to keep tho Sabbath day holy, is more marked, more prominent than any other injunction in the bible. By the word "holy” tho writer understands the command thus—total abstinence from all labor. If a man was caught plowing in his Held on the Sabbath day, he would be reported, and the Grand Jury of the county would take cognizance of it prompt ly. Then why should a railroad run its cars, and compel its employees to work on the Sabbath day, and bo less amena ble to public opinion and tho aims of the law, than the man who plows his horse or mule on the Sabbath day ? Will some body give us a reply? No Chuhoh Member. FIRE COMPANY ORGANIZED. Council Chamber, \ Milledgeville, Ga., April 20th, 1883. f .

Tiie meeting unanimously ordered tho pro ceedings published in the city paper, and upon motion adjourned subject to Fore man’s call. Geo. Haug, Sec. & Treas. A CARD. Messrs. Editors Union &. Recorder: Gentlemen :—Iu summing up tiie rea sons why we should not have a Fire En gine, the opposition claim that we have no water supply, or at least so small an amount as to render an Engine of no value. Permit me to state that the city has eight fire wells, built expressly for the purpose, and placed in such localities as will render them efficient, tiie entire bus iness portion of our city being within easy range of three of them; tiiat is, a fire in any portion of our city where business is transacted, can be played upon from three of the six, with the use of one thousand feet of hose, which distance, to a steamer, is nothing. These wells also protect a large number of dwelling houses, and any one of them when kept in older will furn ish one half hour steady play for any steamer. No city in Georgia has such a supply of water as will protect every portion of it. Macon with its aivantages of labor, has her disadvantages, in not having water to protect every portion of the city; yet not one of her merchants or property holders would say, “we have water only in a portion of our city, some parts being unprotected, hence our fire department is useless, do away with it.” We have geutlemon, an ample supply of water to do incalculable good, by saving much, protecting more, and by lowering the rate or insurance on all. Any expe rienced Fireman will tell you that our wa ter supply is equal to any city of its size in the South. It is the duty of tlm Chief to look as well to the condition of liis tire wells as to his Engine, and if such is done the house that is burning, when our water gives out, no department could save, and an efficient officer ere that time would have given his endeavors to save sur rounding property, and husband liis sup ply for that purpose. Respectfully, U. X. Whilden. A CARD. Messrs. Editors Union ,V Recorder: Gentlemen: 1 beg your indulgence for space to present one point, for tho consid eration ot those of our business men who seem opposed to the purchase of a Steam Fire Engine, for the use of our city. But ting aside the many ottier reasons for the purchase ot said Engine, I ask these gen- t.eiuen to look at the Insurance which, as one of our most enterprising merchants said was “the best protection against lire.” Granted that such is the case, hut should we not do ail in our power to secure the lowest rates possible for lirst class Insu rance? If so, do these gentlemen not know tiiat in every ease where Fire departments have organized where none existed tiefore the Insurance rates have b**eu lowered from V* to per sent?): Such are the facts, and the proof can easily be given if the state ment be denied. From investigation it is known that the amount paid by the citi zens of MilledgevlU for Insurance yearly is fully $5,625.10 the average rate being 1% percent.now suppose we place the reduc tion in rate mane by the companies at an average of ' 4 per c*'iit. which can undoubt edly be obtained and the saving to the citizons per year is $1125.00,and the man who owns most will save most, but all will save proportionally, who insure at ail. Now an Engine can be had fully equipped inside of four thousand dollars and five years tie had to pay the balance after utilizing the old fire pump aud truck, to pay a part of first cost. In five years the amount saved to our citizons from Insurance alone would be $5625,00; cost of Engine say $4uuu,- 00 amount saved $1625.00. Investigation, Messrs. Editors, will prove the correctness of the above figures, anil should of itselt do away with the opposition to such an enterprise as lias been started. No better iaxiv of young men are to be foiiud in a similar organization in tho state than in “Defiance,” of Milledgeville, and Milledge- ville’s citizens should aid them in every way and her council stand squarely to them. Fireman. Mr. John Moye who lives nearCarr’s, has one sow only. From her lie raised last year 1300 pounds of pork, and expects to make his meat for family use from the 8araesow this year.

Special to The Constitution. Indian Spring, April 18.—At 3 o’clock this morning tiie store of H. J. Lamar, in ront of the Collier House, caught fire and despite tho manful efforts of a large crowd, who soon gathered, the building was soon entirely covered in iiames. The Collier house next ignited from the intense heat, which, altogether witli the Lumar store, iii less than two hours, was entirely de stroyed. The vacant store of Mrs. Wright led the iiames from Lamai’s to that of Saunders * Lawson, both of which burn ed. The bar and billiard sahMin af George Collier, tho vacant store ef E. E. Pound, together with another small building south of Collier’s was burned also. Saun ders * Lawson saved about all their goods. Perhaps nbout ten per cent of the Collier iiouse furniture was saved. The postofflee with most of its fixtures were destroyed. None, except H. J. Lamar hold any insurance—ho about one-half.. The lire has been stopped and no further damage expected. The total loss is esti mated at $30,000.

Ho was an eminent jurist, an accomplished scholar, a planter, and a Christian gentleman. His descent is illus trious; his father was the late Wta. H. Crawford, of Georgia, one or the purest statesmen of modern times, who was Sec retary of Treasury in President Monroe’s Cabinet, and afterward, in 1828, was nom inated for the Presidency bv t lie democrats In Congress. This nomination was the in auguration of tho caucus system of polit ical management since grown popular with political parties, and it was the beginning of the memorable contest between Adams, Clay, Andrew Jackson and Crawford. Judge Crawford, In early life in his na tive State, participated freely in polities, and had a spirited race for Congress with the late Hon. A. H. Stephens. The whig party of the district was in the ascendan cy, and Judge Crawford was defeated by a small majority. He has been a resident of this State, twenty-five years. He never took any part in the politics of this State, though often solicited to do so, and devoted himself to his plantation Interests and the care of an interesting family. Occasionally as diversion from plantation routine, and to accomplish all the good he could in the absence of the regular pastor of the Presbyterian church of this city, he often occupied the pulpit. Ilis sermons were characterized by pro found biblical lore and masterly eloquence. The doath of such a man is deplored as a public calamity.

As the remedy is very simple, if any of our readers are afflicted with corns it would probably be well for them to give it a trial: “Take one fourth cup of strong vinegar, crumble it into some bread. Let it stand half an hour, or funtil it softens into a good poultice. Th a n apply on retiring at night. In the morning the soreness will be gone and the corn can be picked out. If the corn is a very obstinate one it may require two or more applications to effect a cure.” SKINNY NSIIW. “Wells’ Health Ronewer” restores health and vigor, cures Dyspepsia, Impotence, sexual Debility. $1 ■ LIST or ADVERTISED LETTERS Remaining in the Post-Office at Milledge ville, Baldwin County, Ga* April 21, 1883 If not called for within 30 days, they will be sent to the Dead Letter office.
