Til • A’hens Banner reports that many years
ago Athens had a law forbidding the sale
of li (uors in quantities less than a quart.
Wh••never a m in came along and bought a
quart he cou’.d not, of course, drink
it all; so the bar keeper would go to the door
a id blow a blast on a cow horn aud the loafers
all arouni town would hasten to help the pur
chaser dispose of b’s quart. When, by any
chance, a gallon was purchase J, the bar keeper
would blow a ram’s horn, and then the boys
would say to each other, “No use to hurry
now; he’s got a gallon.” “Such,” says the Ban-
n r, “were ‘the good old times.’ ”
The Hawkinsville Dispatch announces the

The Crawfordville 2>emocrai says Mr. Louis
Trope is an ent - usiast on rice cul ure, and has
a fine patch of it on his plantation, just west
of the village, an J proposes to increase the
acreage next year. He is confident that it
will prove a large paying crop, judging from
the small amount of land it takes to raise a
bushel.
A mad dog created a sensation in Athens last
Monday. He made a dash at a negro man, who
escaped from him by climbing a fence. As
soon os the refugee could come down he pro
cured a pistol and AreJ at the animal, but

sence from home, insisted that a daughter,
fifteen years of age, to whom he had be
come attached, should promise to marry
him. This was refused, whereupon he drew
a revolver, and after first shooting the
daughter, immediately shot the mother, and
then the girl whose band he sought. He
next placed the pistol to his own temple

A11 Execution agalnat Turkey Fa
vored—The Recall of tbe Whole
Diplomatic Corp* from Conatantl-
noplo— International Fleet to be
Sent to the Boaphoru*.
By Teiegravh to the Morning News.
Rome, October 8.—The Direlto 6ays ti e
new proposals of England have not yet been
dispatched to the powers. It is
probable, however, that the powers
will recall the whole diplomatic corps from
Constantinople, and send the international
fleet to the Bosphorus. It Is unlikely that aDy
Ottoman ports will be blockaded, but It
may be expected that the fleets of the
powers will prevent Turkey from sending
ammunition or men to the Hclleric provinces
to resist annexation to Greece.
London, October 8.—The Notlh Ger
man Gazette, Prince Bismarck’s organ,
considers that in some quarters an
execution against Turkey Is advo
cated, and it Is not inopportune to reprint
protocal eighteen of the Berlin Congress.
The protocol shows that the Congress re
jected both the Russian proposal aud the
Austrian amendment respecting the control
and supervision of the execution of the
treaty of Berlin, and that the Turkish Pleni
potentiary declared that the Porte was
ready to carry out the treaty, but declined
to submit to any control.
The Tones' Rome dispatch remarks that
the Duetto is doubtless informed from an
unofficial source.
A Berlin dispatch to the Iteu’er Telegram
Company this evening says: “Germany
will refuse to j *in in coercive measures
against. Turkey, unless all the powers par
ticipate lu them.”
3t. Petersburg, October 8.—H is be
lieved iu well informed circles that Russia
will agree to any proposals of England for
coercing the Porte, if Englaud takes the
lead.
Cattaiio, October 8.—Riza Pasha with
drew all the Turkish regulars from Dulcig-
no district on the 6:h inst. The movement
is regarded here as a iuse to induce the
Montenegrins to attack.
Constantinople, October 8.—A confer
ence of the Ambassadors strongly disap
proved the Porte’s attitude. The Austrian
and German representatives are, neverthe
less, trying to induce the Ambassadors to
avoid hasty action.
Vienna, October 8 —The IblUical Corns-
pondeuct saj 6 : “ England has now received
tbe declarations of ail the powers that they
are prepared to assent to the proposal of
England to seize 6ome place in the Archi
pelago.”

of Inspector* of Elections Voted
Down.
By Telegraph to the Morning News.
New York, October 8.—At a meeting of
the Police Board this evening. Commission
er Smith, Democrat, offered a resolution
that the inspectors of elections, irrespective
of political faith, be called together previous
to the next registration day to be advised
by the corporation counsel as to their duties
and official relations to the United States
supervisor and marshals, and as to the juris
diction and powers of those Federal offi
cials on election day. General
Smith stated that he intended to
offer the same resolution in regard to the
United States District Attorney, requesting
him to properly instruct the Federal super
visors, with a view to devise some way to
preveut any conflict of authority, but the
official alluded to was stumpiDg in Iudiana,
and could not, therefore, be consulted.
After some debate Vhe resolution was lost
by a party vote.
Another resolution offered by General
Smith, that the corporation counsel furnish
the board with an opinion as to the rights
and duties of inspectors in their relations
to the United States supervisors, was also
voted down.

THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS.
Why All Hen with any Character
to Lose Among Them will Vote
and Work for Hancock.
New York World.
At a conference of prominent Southern
Republicans held in Washington the follow
ing address, indicative of the feeling among
the class of men who stood by the Republi
can party in the South as long as they con
sidered it entitled to support, and In the
face of popular opposition, was prepared
and directed to be issued :
The undersigned having earnestly support
ed the Republican party in carrying out the
priucipks of the reconstruction measures of
Congress in the Southern States, feel con
strained by tbe present situation in public
affairs to state some of the grounds upon
which a change in the party character of
the national administration Is demanded.
The reconstruction measures were precipi
tated upon the South in a time of great
public excitement. They were to subvert
ideas, habits and conditions fixed by tbe
usage and experience of generations. * This
was to be done at a time and under circum
stances well calculated to produce most
serious apprehension. The disfranchise
ment of the principal property-holders,
coupled with the enfranchisement of the
whole body of former slaves, to be put Into
operation in the midst of a disrupted con
dition of government, alarmed the most
thoughtful and patriotic citizens. Thought
ful men had hoped and expected gradual
and carefully tested 6teps in the adjustment
of matters so vital to the peace and equilib
rium of society.
But tbe alarm and opposition were great
ly increased by the disgraceful and reckless
conduct of many of the persons intrusted
with the execution of this new order of
things. This conduct inflamed prejudices
and provoked conflicts. Instead of dis
countenancing the misconduct of these per
sons by its restraining attention, the na
tional administration has continually ex
tended to them special countenance and
favor and has repressed the exertions of the
more worthy and judicious supporters of
reconstruction. We deem It sufficient sim-
p v to state the facts, without Indulging in
1, v warmth of expression or referring in de-
r.k’I either to the repeated acts or to the gen-
.-ral spirit and policy by which the present
auu preceding administrations have made
rhe management of reconstruction a curse
to the colored race as well as to the white
people of the Southern State*.
But the first apprehension in relation to
tuc iuiuiediate execution of the principles
of the reconstruction measures has Lcik
greatly relieved by time and the test of ex
perience. The disfranchisement feature
having been removed, there is now a gen
eral acquiescence in the principles involved,
as, indeed, nothing more than the funda
mental ideas of the American system of
government. But the recollection of unre
strained abuses 6till remains, and there Is
still a deep grounded apprehension that such
abuses may at any time be repeated in their
worst form as lopg as the national admlnis- }
tration continues in the hands of the Re- j
publican party.
We are satisfied from personal knowledge
derived from observation and from partici
pation in the reconstruction policy, that a
change in the party character of the national
administration is now the surest and best
means of placing reconstruction upon a safe
and peaceful basis, and of at once uniting
the country In mutual confidence and kind
ly relationship And, as this should be the
first and leading purpose of the American
people in the pending Presidential election,
we believe it ought to override all party at
tachments and considerations.
To elect a Republican President at this
time by a sectional vote would be a public
calamity of the gravest character. It would
unquestionably set back tbe growing 6enti
ment of nationality and unity which a just
and enlightened policy in the management
of reconstruction would long since have per
manently secured. While wishing to avoid
as far as possible any matter appealing to
feeling rather than sober reason, we cannot
well omit alluding to the fact that tbe Re
publican party has made Its present cam
paign a direct ’attack upon tbe South by
seeking to revive against it the distrust and
hostile feeliDgs engendered by the war.
We cannot be unmindful that this is being
done for the purpose of securing a party
triumph which is to install such distrust
and hostility in complete control of the na
tional administiation. It Is natural and
reasonable that the Southern people, so
threatened, should unite in resisting, by
their votes, the consummation of such a
purpose; and that they should appeal to
thoughtful and just men In the North for
protection and suppprt. __
We are unable to see Iu any existing con
ditions a reason why 6uch protection should
not be extended. Slaverf no longer exists,
so there is absolutely no sentiment in tbe
South that would favor its restoration and
scarcely any that regrets its destruction.
The Union has been reconstructed upon the
basis of freedom and political equality, and
there is no element in the South that would
attempt to have it otherwise. The senti
ment has become practically universal
among the Southern people that the Union
Is the best security to their liberties and the
surest guarantee of their future prosperity
and happiness. But they would not con
ceal their dread of evil from the organiza
tion Into a pol’tical party of all who are
unfriendly to them, for tbe purpose of con
trolling the common government to their
oppression and injury.
We have sincerely regretted the failure of
the Republican leaders to recognize the true
situation iu the Southern States. Their
mistakes and wrongful conduct, in the exe
cution of the reconstmction act6, have caus
ed us to despair of their ability to establish
mutual confidence and harmony between
the sections. The sectional grounds upon
which they are seeking to carry the pending
election have forced us to distrust their dis
position to regard the Southern people as
equals in the Union, or worthy to be trusted

of tbeir country. They have year by year
steadily driven from the party in the South
numbers of its most considerate and earnest

vival In the future would be placed beyond
all possibility by the success of their present
attempt to elect a President by a sectional
vote, under the hostile attitude they have
made this campaign assume.
The nomination of General Hancock has
placed the Democratic party upon the most
elevated plane of devotion to the Union,
the Constitution and the execution of the
laws. He has pledged the country an ad
ministration upon the safest and soundest
principles of free institutions. This pledge
is guaranteed by his proved devotion to the
Union and his great public services, and by
the firmness and purity of his private char
acter. We confidently believe that his elec
tion to the Presidency is the safest and sur
est means of removing all remaining obsta
cles to the perfect and peaceful establish
ment of reconstruction upon the basis of
freedom and political equality aifd of
restoring complete reconciliation and con
fidence between all sections of the country
and among all classes of tbe people. The
Southern people would then divide upon
other Issues, with no regard to race distinc
tions, and there would soon be established
a normal condition of political sentiment
and action, conducive alike to the interests
and happiness of both races and to the
general peace and welfare of the whole
country.
