The hearts that beat with fond desire
Too soon, alas! grow cold and dead.
Arsons that glow with heav’nly Are
Soon sink iu ocean's chiding bed:
Vet hearts there ar-* no fates cat* sever,
There is a light that shines f orever.
The heart that’s lost in rol l despair.
That feels not hope's enlivening ray.
Soon sinks beneath the weight of care
That sadden'd first is youthful day;
Then death alone its fate can sever.
And banish all its woes forever.
Till reason cease her rays to fling
Acioss my wild, my fever’d brain.
This * eart to thine will fondly cling
Where all my hopes or bliss remain;
And cease to love thee it will never.
Till death shall sink its pulse forever.

On Tuesday last Mr. Hamilton Clirk.a highly

The new Augusta 6's have advanced. They
are now quoted at 10bid, 10j asked.
The Augusta News states that eighty-seven
shares of the Sibley Mi.is stock have been sold,
in the past few days, at par. It was sold to
parties out of Augusta, who were not previ
ously stockholders, and was bought as a first-
class investment and not for speculating pur
poses. "That the Sibley Mills stock,” says
that paper, “should sell at par long before
the mill is operated is the highest complimeot
that could be paid.”
It is stated that a young woman, rather pre
possessing in appearance, but possessed of &
considerable growth of beard, is once a week a
visitor to a barber shop at Clinton, Ga. She
takes her seat in a chair, just like a man, and
quietly submits her face to the lather, brush
and razor. Showmen have tried to induce her
to travel as a bearded woman, but she scorn
fully rejects their offers.
On Thursday iast, in Atlanta, a young man,
name not given, while intoxicated attempted
suicide by hanging himself with a blanket in a
cell in which he had been placed to "sober off.”
He was released from his perilous position.
During the night he made another attempt to
end his life but was again 1 rustrated in his ef
forts. He has since been released and turned
over to his friends, who are closely watching
him to see that he does not yet carry out his
murderous intent.
The Augusta Evening News entered on its
fourth year last Saturday. Its editor says it
has succeeded beyond his must sanguine ex
pectations in the past, and has flattering pros
pects in the future.
A romantic marriage came off at Watkins-
viile on Thursday last. The happy pair were
Mr. J. J. Wood is and Miss Emma Gordon, he
aged eighteen and she sixteen. The extreme
youth of the couple made their parents hesi
tate many months before consenting to the
nuptials, but finally true love prevailed over
parental caution and the knot was tied. May
they live long and prosper.
Kev. Dr. Felton has been accused of medi
tating a contest for Mr. Clements' seat in Con
gress from the Seventh district. In a letter to
the Cartersville Free Press he denies the
charge, and says he will enter no formal con
test. Like every other defeated candidate,
however, he says he was beaten through fraud.
The Atlanta Past disagrees with the opinions
of Messrs Toombs and Stephens to the effect
that (ieorgia is not prospering. It is led to this
conclusion by a careful surveyor the situation,
and says: "The cotton receipts of our cities
and towns are on the increase. New factories
are being built; new enterprises are springing
up all over the Slate; capitalists and imm.
grants are coming in; the taxable property of
the State has increased $14,000,000; the credit
of the State is good, and she la able to float
four per cent, bond at par; there is more
money in circulation than for years past; busi
ness failures are less numerous, and other
flattering indications might be mentioned. If
these things do not indicate prosperity, what
do they in icate? Our timber interests,
mining interest*. and the develop
ment of our harbors and rivers, are
oxciting unusual attention. A number of
short railroad lines, especially in North Geor
gia, have been built during the past year, and
other lines are in the course of construction.
Nor is this prosperity and enterprise confined
the live towns of the State. Several towns,
once prosperous, but for many years on the
decline, are experiencing a regular business
hoom. Covington, Elberton, Monroe and
Lewrenceville in this section of the State are
notable instances in point. If all this indicates
the ’widespread poverty’ General Toombs
speaks of, then, we say, give us a little more of
this sort of poverty. If it is merely the out.
come of a ‘fictitious prosperity,’ then let us
still more of it. Let it come—the people
cm stand it!”

A communication from Gaineeville to the
Atlanta Constitution states that on Thursday
morning last about 8 o’clock, two men were
seen riding through that town on splendid
horses and went to McI*endon's stable and
put up. I hey were suspicious looking charac
ters. After they had been at the stable awhile
they offered to sell the horses,and finally offer
ed to tike $125 for the two, and light here they
were detected. Marshal T. N. Hanie took the
two men into custody. They at first seemed
very indignant and said they could prove that
they were all right and offered to telegraph to
friends, who could inform the Marshal that
nothing was wrong. Hanie went to the tele
graph office with them. They concluded, how
ever, to carry the message th**mse.ves, and
put off down the railroad at full speed. They
were soon arrested and then it was they
told the tale. Their names are James Tally
and Robert Rowe; they are step brothers, and
live in Pickens county, Ga. The horses, they
say, are theproperty of Berry Howk. living 8
miles from Calhoun. Ga. They say they stole
them about 12 o’clock last Thursday night,
i he horses and men are in the custody of Tom
Hanie, where they will remain till further or
ders. The men aroused suspicion upon their
entrance into town. The horses were unusual
ly- rine ones and the men unusually rough ones.
This case reflects credit upon Marshal Hanie as
a watchful and efficient officer, as he was
watching after the boys soon after their en
trance into town.
The Columbus Times relates some bloody
work which occurred Friday last in Harris
county, near that city, between two men who
were peddling through the country, in which
one or them was shot several times and the
other severely cut. The particulars of the af
fair, as near as the Times was able to obtain
them, are as follows: "The men were traveling
and came to the store of Teel £ Hubbard.when
they decided to go in and buy something to eat.
It is stated that one of the men—Roberts by
name claimed that he had loaned the other,
whose name we could not lt^rn, two dollars and
fifty cents, and when they Lad finished eating
Roberts asked his companion to pay for their
dinner out of the money which he owed him.
This he rerusetl to do, and Roberts became
vexed and told him he did not expect to pay
what he owed anyway. This caused a quarrel
which terminated in the stranger's drawing a
pistol and opening fire, ltooerts received five
wounds, one iu the forehead, two In the bowels,
one in the thigh, and one in the shoulder.
While the firing was going on Roberts drew
bis knife and began to cut, iuflicting teveral
wounds on the body of his combatant.
Roberts liv« s across the river, and is the
same man who was arrested and imprisoned
for trying to raise a mob to lynch the Gammon
prisoners. He was not dead yesterday when
our informants left him, but it is not thought
he can possibly survive his wounds. A mes
senger was sent to this city to info* m his wire
of the sad fate of her husband The other man,
after the difficulty, was seen to go around the
store in a stooping posture, and It was thought
that he had been Disemboweled by his antag
onist. Nothiug had been seen or heard of him
up to the time our informants left the place,
and it is thought that in all probability he has
died in the woods near the store. None of the
parties who informed us knew his name. He
claimed to be from Texas, aud we learn that
rumors w ere afloat to the effect that he was an
outlaw, having killed two or three men ia that
State. We have given the particulars as we
received them, and we presume the legal au
thorities of Harris county will have the matter
investigated and take such steps as they deem
proper towards developing tne facts in the
case.”
A fight for the control of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad is on the tapis iu Atlanta.
The Post-Appeal )f that city says: "For some
time past it has been known that there was
some sort of trouole among the less* es of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad about the lease
and the control o'" the property. The matter
has at length eulrcinated so that a Post-Appeal
reporter c<« lay the following facts before the
public. Last Hpr.n<£ it was reported that the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad had
purchased eight shares of the lease of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad, aud
this was the inducement why the Lou
isville and Nashville Railroad scooped up
the Nashville end Chattanooga. The truth is
the eight shares were purchased by Col. Wm.
M. Waaley. President of the Central Railroad.
The Louisville and Nashville Railroad thought
that the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad
had effected a lease of the Central Railroad,
and that as a matter of course the eight shares
of the W. and A. Railroad would also go along
with the lease of the Central, t-uch, howtvei,
was not the case. Colonel Wadley owned the
shares in his own name. When the L. and N.
purchased theN. and C.. Colonel Wadley went
to New York and there ascertained that the
shares of the lease of the W. and A. were of no
benefit to him or his road, and he came back
home and sold out, to Mr. C. H. Phinizy. two
shares; Mr. C. L Brown, two shares; Mr. N. L
Hutchins, of I*awrenceville, on* share; Mr.
Leonard Pbinizy. of Augusta one share; Major
Joseph B. Cuinming. of Augusta, one share. It
is not remembered to whom l»e sold the
other share; any way, these gentlemen
are the ones who hive combined in a
request to Colonel W. C. Morrill, the
Secretary and Treasurer cf the Western and
Atlantic Railroad Compani, for him to call a
meeting of the shareholders of the road, to
meet in Atlanta next Welnesday. the 24th.
Their object in so doing is to examine into the
condition of the road and know w hat«t is doing
Thus far these gentlemen, although owning
the shares, have been debarred from voting
their stock because the lease act requires that
the original lessees shall cast the votes A
bill has been prepared to present to court pray
ing for an injunction to restrain the original
lessees from voting the stock. This will de
cide the question as to the legality of the lease
act confining a certain number cf the lessees
to be citizcos of Georgia. Of course if the
c-se is dec ded against the gentlemen, they
will then fall back on the Central Railroad for
their purcia.se money paid for the share*.
They do not want the shares of the lease if
they canno; vote them and control the road.
The matter is in a peculiar shape, and will be
watched with great interest.*’

Waynesboro, November 29.—E<litor Morn
ing News: Mr. Wm. Driscoll, in charge of the
Wiggins place, belonging to the estate of Mil
ler, about three miles from Green’s Cut, in this
county, was brutally murdered by two fiendish
negroes named Mose and Frank Twiggs. The
particulars I gatherel from Mr. Jas. A. Cars
well, the executor of the estate, who attended
the Coroner’s inquest. Mr. Driscoll had to
reprimand the above named men on Tuesday
last about neglecting to water stock. They be
came insulted and assaulted him with sticks,
and would probably have murdered him then
but for the interference of some one who was
attracted to the lot by the noise of the row.
Driscoll went over to the Magistrate of the
dist ict and took out warrants for their arrest,
and the constable was to have come over the
very night of his murder to make the arrest,
but was prevented by some unforeteen circum
stances. During Thursday night it uopears that
these two boys, with the aid or some one
else, obtained" entrance into Driscoll’s house,
where he was discovered asleep in bed with a
lamp burning, and his gun leaning up in the
corner of his room. One ef them seized the
gun, and placing It to Driscoll’s side shot him
through and through the body, setting fire
to the bed clothes, and leaving upon the instant
the horrible deed was committed. When the
body was fouud it was lying on the floor, wel
tering in blood, and the bed clothes on fire
A half witted negro who slept in an adjoining
room, who possibly may have opened the door
for the admittance of the murderers, saved
the house from being burnt, and the traces of
the bloodv deed being obliterated by burning.
If is said "that ther acknowledged the crime to
Mr. A. Chance at Green’s Cut*and expressed no
regret for having committed the crime. Mr.
Driscoll was a native of Ireland, and had been
in this county for the past four years, and bore
a good character. John D. M.

Washington, November 21.—As the
general dispatches inform you, the South
at last to have the benefit of a fast mail
service. The different railroads have come
to reasonable terms for carryirg the cars,
and Superintendent Thompson to day gave
me the following as directly interesting Sa
vannah :
“The fast mail train will leave Boston at
p. m., New York at 4:35 a. m., Washington
at 11 a. m. t Richmond at 3 p. m., and arrive
at Charleston at 6:15 a. m. and Savannah at
11 a. m. For the next two, possibly three,
weeks the train will arrive at Savannah as
at present, at 12:40 p. m. After that time at
11 a. m. Trains will be dally from New
York, and daily, except Sundays, from Bos
ton. Arrangements have not yet been made
for Jacksonville and points west of Savan
nah, and for the present the fast mail will
practically stop at Savannah.’*
Colonel Thompson will go to Charleston
Savannah and Jacksonville immediately
after the inauguration of this fast service,
on November 28th, to perfect all the details
and to make any changes necessary. The
appropriation under which the service
is established will expire June 30th, next.
Necessary efforts should be made to con
tinue it, as it will doubtless prove of great
benefit to the South.
By the Associated Press.
Washington, November 20.—During the
last session of Congress Superintendent
Thompson, of the Railway Mail Service,
wrote a letter to the Postmaster General,
Advocating an additional appropriation for
the Southern fast mall service, which letter
was transmitted to Congress and an appro
priation made. Up to the present time it has
been impossible to make arrangements
with the Southern lines to put it into opera
tion. There was a meeting to-day of South
ern managers in this city, at which
au arrangement was completed, and
It was agreed to put It into effect
on the 28th Inst. By the terms of
this arrangement a fast mall will leave
Boston at. 6 p. m., and New York at 6:35 a.
m , arriving in Washington at 10:50 a.m.
and leaving Washington at II a. m., it will
arrive in Richmoud at 2:46 p. ra., Atlanta at
9:30 a. m., and iu New Orleans the following
morning, which will be equivalent to
a saving of one business day
By this arrangement not only
New Orleans, but all intermediate points
between Washington and New Orleans will
be benefited. As this line will perform lo
cal service, the mail which arrives At Atlan
ta by the present arrangement at 11 p. m ,
will arrive at 9:30 a. in., and all other cities
and villages will receive corresponding
benefits in the saving of time. Not only
the towns on the line of this route
receive such benefits, bat by its
connections with lateral lines the entbe
■service iu the South will be greatly improv
ed. Tula train will also, by connections
from Richmond, continue south via the At
lantic Coast Line via Wilmington, Charles
ton and Savannah, to Jacksonville, decreas
ing the time to the extent of one business
day to the cities named, together
with their intermediate points, also on the
lateral lines.
In addition to the above train there is
also a special fast train on the Virginia Mid
land Railroad, between Washington and
Danville, which leaves Danville at 10:40 p.
m., on arrival of the train which
leaves New York at 4 p. ra. This Virginia
Midland special train arrives at Danville,
Va., at 7:45 a. m., in time to connect with
the Piedmont Air-Line train for the 8outb,
which, taken in connection with the
other fast trains, gives the South
double daily fast mall service
that is unsurpassed elsewhere. The
Southern railway managers very kindly
placed the trains at the disposal of the de
partment, which it promptly accepted,
knowing and appreciating the value of
[such service to the patrons of the Post
Office Department.

Washington, November 20.—Commis

Deputy Collector B. H. Lanier, who has
charge of the upper parishes of Louisiana,
daced Lake Providence, November 10th,
stating that attempts have been
made to assassinate him and Dr.

that he is a prisoner in his own house, and
dare not go out for fear of assassination:
that it is necessary for him to leave the dla
trict to secure personal safety. In reply,
General Raum this afternoon telegraphed
Collector Marks as follows:
“I do not intend to allow our officers to

tricts. Employ five competent, courageous
men, and arm them well, to accompany
Deputy Collector Lanier in policing his dl

By Telegraph to the Morning News.
London, November 20. — Mr. Thomas
Power O’Conner, M. P., speaking at a pub
lic meeting in Galway, said that “when the
objects of the Land League shall have been
attained, the Irish people will have a more
noble course in view—to wrench themselves
from the rule of England.”
The Vatican organ, the Aurora, denies the
statement that the Irish Bishops are pursu
ing a policy displeasing to the Pope, and
says: “Neither the Pope nor the Bishops
have evtr thought of preventing the people
from aiming at a legitimate satisfaction of
their needs, provided they do not deviate
from justice or rectitude iu their choice of
means. Rebellion, incendiarism, destruction
of property and homicide are clearly not
among the means that can be counte
nanced.”

THE INTERNATIONAL REGATTA.
Laycock, the Australian, Wins First
Prize—A Splendid Race—Graphic
Description of the Event—The
Winner Challenges Human.
By Telegraph to the Morning News.
London, November 30.—Lay cock, the
Australian, won the final heat iu the inter
national regatta to day, carrying off the
first prize, £500; Ross second, win
ning £300; Hosmer third, winning £160,
and Smith fourth, winning .£40.
The oarsmen got at their stations very
promptly at the time fixed. Lay cock’s sta
tion gave him a slight advantage at the
start, as he had the full force of
what tide there was. The water
was 6lnggish, owing to an immense
volume of land water coming down the
river. An the men rowed in jerseys. The
start took place very promptly. Betting at
the start was eren on Ross, 11 to 8 against
Lay cock, 8 to 1 against Hosmer, and 10 to 1
against Smith.
On the word being given the men got
away pretty evenly, Ross, however, by clip
ping his sculls in the shade before the word
was given secured a slight advantage,
which soon Improved to half a length.
Smith came next, about a third of a length
ahead of tbe other two. Hosmer, who was
rowing very well, 6purted somewhat soon
after the start, and drew up on a level with
Laycock. Off Simmons’ boat house Smith
had rushed into the first place and had a lead
of one-third of a length from Ross, while
Hosmer was three quarters of a length In
rear of Ross, and Laycock one and a half
lengths behind Hosmer. Before the end of
the boat house was reached Rosa was again
few feet ahead and Smith and Laycock
had drawn nearer to Hosmer. At
the concrete wall Ross settled down
to work and Boon had a commanding
lead of two lengthe. At the end
of the wall Ross was one and three-quar
ter lengths ahead of Hosmer,
Smith one quarter length behind Hos-
mer, and Laycock a length behind
Smith. It was a magnificent race for some
distance. Laycock spurted and passed
Smith. Waldon’s wharf was passed in five
minutes thirty-two seconds, and Ross was
then two lengths from Hosmer.
A tremendous struggle here ensued be
tween Laycock and Ilosmcr for the second
C * :e. They continued about even from
e Cottage to the soap works, where Lay
cock shook off Hosmer amidst tremendous
cheering. Daring the early part of this
struggle Ross had increased his lead to
three lengths. His time for a mile was five
minutes and fifty-five seconds, but by
this time Laycock bad headed
Hosmer by one third of a length, and
Ross led by only one and one half lengths.
8mith, by this time, was eight lengths be
hind, and evidently hopelessly beaten.
Laycock now had a grand race with Ross
right np to Hammersmith, with Hosmer
close up. Laycock and Hosmer passed the
bridge, respectively, three and five
sec-rads after Ross. Hosmer now dashed
in. He did not 6eem greatly exhausted, and
after a great struggle he had at Earl Mills
succeeded in heading Laycock by a length
and in attaining to within one and a half
lengths or Ross. At Chiswick Church Lay
cock was again level with Hosmer, and the
race became a desperate one. Hosmer at
this point again headed Laycock. Both
men kept within a half length of Ross, and
two hundred yards further on, when
the three men were very close
together, Ross’ left rcull touched the bow
of Laycock’s boat. Ross immediately
raised bis bands to claim a foul, and by so
doing lost somewhat, and Laycock almost
immediately got on a level with Ross.
Hosmer improved his position materially
but tbe latter soon afterward began
to tire, and Laycock put in
few strong spurts. The three, however,
kept pretty close together until
Barnes’ was reached, where Laycock
let himself out and went away with wonder
ful vigor, taking a clear length lead of
Rose, Hosmer still being a good third.
At Barnes’ bridge Laycock had increased
his lead to two lengths, with Hosmer three
lengths behind Ross. Hosmer was still rowing
in good style, though much exhausted. Af
ter this Laycock went away aud won as he
liked. Smith finished a long way behind,
having been passed by ail the steamboats.
The time of Ross to Hammersmith bridge
was 10 minutes 20 seconds. The time of
Laycock to Barnes’ bridge was 32 minutes
15 seconds, and to the finish 26 minutes 46
seconds, with a lead of seventh lengths.
The Press Association says Laycock has
challenged Hanlan.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF
WAR.
.HImsIs*! ppi River Improvements—
Great Success of the Jetties—Re
commendation That the Army be
Increased, and the Seacoast De
fences Repaired—General Review
of the Operations of tbe Depart
ment.
By Telegraph to the Morning News.
Washington, November 21.—The annual
report of the Secretary of War to the Presi
dent was made public to-day. It gives a gene
ral review of the various subordinate reports,
calls attention to their several recommenda
tions, andfdetails at some length the opera
tions of the War Department daring the
year. The expenditures for all affairs under
the control of the department for the last
fiscal year were $39,924,773, and the esti
mates for the fiscal year ending June 30*
1882, are $43,627,055.
With regard to the Mississippi River
Commission the Secretary says: “The
Mississippi River Commission, operating
accordance with the act approved June 28,
1879, submitted a report which was duly
transmitted to Congress last March, and was
published by order of the House of Repre
sentatives. That report exhibited for the
first time the estimates of the appropriations
required for the works of Improvement there
in described, amounting to $5,133,000, and it
awaited further consideration when the ses
sion closed. The commission has commu
nicated to me its desire to renew those eeti
mates, and its communication will be trans
mitted to Congress as a matter of special
Importance, not Included, however,
the annual estimates and expenditures
for the service of this department. Im
provement of the south pass of the Missis
sippi river reached a point on the 8th of
July, 1879, at which time payments for
creating & channel ceased anil began to
depend upon the maintenance of the
work at the standard marked out. Certi
fled statements and payments show that
for compensation and interest for
the maintenance of the channel
total of $150,000 has been paid during the
year. The total previously paid for creating
a channel was $425,000, aud the aggregate
cost to date is $4,400,000. The permanency
of this important work seems to be assured
from the fact that there has been
no failure whatever in tbe maintenance
of the maxlmnm channel during tbe
six months ending August 9th last.
Tills improvement has ipened through
sands and shoals a broad deep highway to
the ocean, aud is one upon the permanent
success of which congratulations may be
exchanged between the people abroad and
at home, and especially among the commu
nities of the Mississippi Valley, whose com
mercial exchanges float in unobstructed
channels safely to and from the sea.”
Secretary Ramsey concurs in the recom
mendation of General Sherman that the
army be increased to its full legal maximum
of thirty thousand men, and that twenty
five thousand men be assigned specifically
to troops of the line. While to enlist
this force would add somewhat to the ap
proprlatlon for tbe pay of the army, the
saving in other directions would be very
considerable, and the efficiency of the army
largely increased.
Secretary Ramsey also endorses the rec
ommendations of the Adjutant General re
lative to the placing of uniformed State
militia upon the same footing, in respect to
rules aDd forms, as regular forces, and calls
attention to the necessity of providing for
tbe organization, arming and disciplining
of the militia by special legislation.
Tne Secretary says the sea coast fortifica
tions of the United States are incomplete
and in a defenceless condition, which is dis
creditable to the country, and that unless
they are put in proper condition an enemy’i
shells may, and possibly will some day, kin
die greater fires In our seacoast cities than
that which, at Boston a few years ago, de
stroyed in a few hoars $86,000,000 worth of
property.

THE PRUSSIAN DIET.
Movement of the Government
Against the Jews—A Prolonged
By Telegraph to the Morning News.
Bbrlin, November 20. — In the lower
house of the Prussian Diet, Herr Hoenel in
terpellated the government to-day upon
the present movement against the Jews.
He denounced the revival of race hatred,
and pointed to the inconsistency of such a
movement in a country whose government
bad taken diplomatic action in favor of the
removal of the disabilities of the Jews in
the Balkan principalities.
Count Von Stolberg Welnege, Minister
of State, replied that the government had
not received the petition in favor of the
partial renewal of disabilities referred to by
Herr Hoenel, but he had no hesitation In
declaring that the existing laws established
religious equality, and that the government
had no intention of proposing a modifica
tion thereof.
In the Russian Diet Herr Ensyford, Vir
chow and Frasger, Progressionists, con
demned the anti-Slmetic agitation, which
they said was due to the envy of individuals
who had acquired property and position.
Herr en Heydebradlass, Conservative,
Reichensperger and Windthorst, Clericals,
and Hobrecht, National Liberal, argued that
the questiou was a social one, which did
not concern Parliament, but which science
and society itself should settle. All of the
latter recommend mutual tolerance. Tbe
Clericals urged that the same protection
which was desired for the Jew6 should be
extended to the Catholics. The debate
was then adjourned until Monday.

Special Correspondence of the Morning Neics.
Atlanta, November 20.—I can hardly keep
up with the sudden and severe changes in the
weather. My last letter was written in a rain
storm, whu h was followed by a sudden change
to a freeze that made ice in doors. To-day the
weather has moderated, and another rain
seem* pending.
Strange to say the entire Chatham delegate -n
has been able to stand all the sudden changes
of weather, and attend daily to their dutie« in
the Senate and House. In this respect they
have been much more fortunate than delega
tioos from colder portions of the State. Chat
ham has not only a tough but an industrious
delegation this year.
Already the spirit of investigation has made
its appearance in the House, and several com
mitiees on investigation have been appointed.
One committee is to investigate the State Hoad
lease, another the fees paid Attorney General
Ely and associate counsel, while another is iu
vestigating the convict system. Other invest!
nations are suggested, and will probably be
inaugurated.
A perfect mania prevails in regard to public
schools, and members are introducing all fciuds
of impracticable bills on the subject, and a
spectator might easily infer that two-thirds of
tne entire revenue of the State is to be given
over to the public school fund. A wise and
liberal fostering of the educational interests of
the State is commendable, but there is no sense
in much of the hasty and Injudicious legisla
tion now proposed, and which will. I think, be
adversely acted upon in the committee rooms.

The contest for the Judgeship in the Middle

Uainbridoe. November 18.— Editor Morning
News: I have before me this week’s issue of
the Democrat, and it is quite encouraging to
observe the many points of local interest
which the wide-awake editor has been able to
obtain of this growing town and section. At
no one period of our history have we had so
bright an outlook as we do to-day, and al
though defeated in our hopes for Lhe country,
in the election of Hancock and the success Of
true constitutional government, we take com
fort in the faith we have in a pure htate gov
ernment and the strong arm of industry and
that indomitable energy of our people.
We are quite willing to take the advice of the
News, which says, "get rich" and live inde
pendently of our wouid-be oppressors at the
North.
The most noted and encouraging enterprise
to which allusion is made by the Democrat is
the reopening of the Bainbridge Factory, un
der the management of Mr. J. R. Adams, ot
Montgomery. Ala. He is a gentleman of large
means and fine business qualifications, and the
prompt and business like way in which he has
taken hold of the enterprise is an earnest of
success and profitable conduct of the under
taking.
The United States Government has now a
large force opening up Flint river from this
point to Albany, Ga., with ample appropria
lions for the rapid completion of the work,
and the time is short until we shall have a
large cotton and lumber trade for more than a
hundred miles into tne finest farm and timber
lands in the State of Georgia.
The timber trade of this county is at present
very large, and many of oar young
men are engaged in this very lucrative
business. It gives employment to a
score of hands which would other
wise be unemployed at this season of the year,
and in this way a large revenue is received by
our people who enjoy the advantages ora large
stream drifting them right out to sea. Then
again in a few short weeks an elegant iron
bridge will span our river at Bainbndge, con
necting the two sections of the county,
and thereby greatly enhancing the' value
of large landed property, until now compara
tively worthless. There is certainly no place
in tne great State of Georgia opening up
better advantages for profitable investment
than are presented in this section, and I take
occasion just here, in behalf of our citizens, to
give a cordial welcome to capitalists from any
where, North, East, South or West, to come
and help develop and erjoy these immense
resources. The climate is genial and
healthy, and all we want is capital.
The Savannah Presbytery held its fall session
in this citv last week, and, by the faithful pre
sentation of sacred truth, aDd the high Chr;s-
tian character of its ministers, made a good
impression upon our citizens generally. There
Is no abler body of ministers in any Presbytery
in Georgia.
Dui ing the next month the South Georgia
and Florida Teachers’ Association will meet in
this city. Ample provision will be made for
their entertainment. There is no more im
portant association for the progress of the
country than this. They will give special
attention to the subject of thorough education
in the common schools, a matter of the very
greatest importance to the youth of the coun
try. A large attendance is expected
One other matter of local interest, and I am
done. We are informed that two large
t’lement attachments” are to be put in
operation during the next spring, and in con
nection with it a cotton seed oil mill, the last
the best paying investment which can now
engage the attention of capitalists. Flint.

Something for the Boys to Read.—
The evils of juvenile smoking were re
cently considered at a conference cf
Sunday school and day school teachers
in Manchester, England. Dr. Emrys-
Jones, of the Royal Eye Hospital, who
>res:ded, laid special stress upon the in-
'urious influence of tobacco Upon the afflum. Alabama is in the same con
1 JU-. 1 :_u J ditlon. and Governor Cobb makes a stirring
supporters. Dell led off in the Senate vote
getting twenty-five out of forty-four, and for a
time he wa* way ahead in the House, but
Carswell finally struck a "boom" and rapidly
came up with his lively competitor, and after
a short struggle was pushing ahead. It is a
high compliment to Dell that when the final
changeg occurred but one of his supporters
changed to Carswell. The content was close
and exciting, and although a good man was
defeated, it ia gratifying to know that an
equally good man was re-elected.
PUBLIC HEALTH AND INSANITY.
Dr. E. A. Perkins, of Burke, is one of the
most efficient members in the House, having
been here several terms. He iB Chairman of
the Innate Asylum Committee. No member
pves Savannah matters a more careful atten-
ion, eepe ially health and sanitation measures,
with which he is always well acquainted as a
well educated physician and experienced
legislator. He is now pressing several such
measures to a successful issue in the House.
Hon J. B. Estes, of Hall, has introduced a
bill for a branch insane asj lum at Gainesville,
and the city authorities of that live town are
already acting in the matter with th*ir accus
tomed energy and pub ic spirit. Fome pro
vision must be made, by new buildings at
Milledgeviile or elsewhere, for insane persons
now unable to find room in the overcrowded
appeal to the Legislature for Increased accom
modatioua.
PERSONAL MENTION.
The Rev. H. H. Tucker, H IX. editor of the
Chruttun Index aud baptist, acts as Chaplain
pro ten\- ot the House on JSaturdays and Mon
days, in the absence of the Chaplain, Rev. Dr.
John Jones.
During the past week the reporters’ desks in
the House have been enlivened by the daily
presence of W. E. Kay, Esq., the popular steno
grapher of the Brunswick circuit, whos© skilled
pen has frequently done volunteer service for
the hard working repeaters.

PINAL PARAGRAPHS.
Col. C. T. Zachry. of Henry, one of the “Olua-
tee heroes," says there are some errors in the
recent account of that battle by Senator Call
as published in the Morning News.
I h^v© never before heard so many resolu
tipns read from any Clerk's desk admitting vjsi-.
tors to seats on the floor of the House. A mem

Savannah is deeply interested in the bill for
a railroad from Rome to Carrollton, there to
connect with the Central Railroad. Rome is
now the greatest interior cotton market of
Georgia. Bhe needs a direct line to a coi&a
port and Savannah is preferred.
Speaking of railroads, bills hare been intro
duced for about a dozen new railroad enter
prises, some three or four of them to run from
lonie.one to St. Mark’s, Fla., one tq Atlanta,
one to Chattanooga, one to Carrollton, and I
think there is nee more to some other point.

Is Christianity on the Decline.’
New York Sun.
The Rev. Mr. Parkhurst, the pastor of
the Madison Square Presbyterian
Church, rather surprised his wealthy
and comfortable congregation last Sun
day by declaring in the course of his ser
mon that the admission of new mem
bers to the whole body of Presbyterian
Churches in this country during the
last twelve months amounted on the
average to only one person to each
church. Judging from statistics in his
possession, he was of the opinion that
the membership of the denomination had
declined rather than increased within
the year.
This prominent clergyman said he
could not speak with as much certainty
concerning denominations like the Meth
odist, Baptist and Dutch Reformed,
though he believed the facts on the
point in question were about the same
with them as with the Presbyterians. He
knew such to be the case with the Con
gregational churches of New England,
and he gave details in regard to the
churches of that class in Ilartford and
New Haven, where Congregationalism is
largely in the ascendant, and is co m
monly supposed to be in a flour .
ishiu g state. He ^' >ed th £ t i n bott
those Clt'-g, where rise the glittering
s P’jres of many costly temples dedicated
to the creed of Brewster and Davenport,
the admissions of new members to the
churches of that faith within the year
hardly gave an average of one person to
each congregation, while on account of
deaths and removals the net total of
members had diminished.
A couple of weeks since a Protestant
clergyman from Belgium occupied the
pulpit of the Rev. Dr. Crosby. He had
crossed the ocean to attend* the Pan-
Presbyterian Council at Philadelphia.
His address was upon the condition of
Protestantism in Europe general^, and
more particularly in Belgium. He seem
ed to be well informed upon the subject,
and was evidently a learned, thoughtful
and candid man. He gave it as his opinion
that Christianity on the continent, wheth
er Catholic or Protestant, was honey
combed all the way through with ration-
He »aid that as a general rule it is only
the uneducated classes that hold fast to
those leading facts in Christianity which
are accepted as truths by Catholics and
Protestants alike, and that the more
learned and cultivated portion of the
people seem to be gradually swinging
loose from the old doctrines. He made
the significant statement that though in
bis judgment it was evident that the lib
eral party in European politics is break*
ing away from the ancient church, its
leaders and its rank and file do not stop
at Protestantism, but go clear over to
disbelief in any form of Christianity.
These utterances of prominent ortho
dox divines as to the present condition
anti apparent tendencies of Christianity
lin this country and on the Continent of
Europe are worthy of the grave consid
eration of the clergy of all denomina
tions.

helping her. Then she was plaeed in 1 »e.ghed free of ch.
other doctors’ hands, and they found
that she had a spinal injury, of which
she was speedily cured. Dr. Shearer
sent in a bill for #100, and she refused to
>ay. There seems to be no doubt that
lis services had no good result, yet he
claims that the mistake, if he made any,
was not due to inoompetency or care

ground that no physician can guarantee
