Notice. — During the next tiro or three months
specimen copies (f the LaGrange Reporter will be
sent to many persons who are not subscribers. Such
persons need not hesitate to receive the papers, as
no charge will be made for them. All to whom
they are sent are requested to subscribe.
Tub oignr-mnkers in New York are ou n strike.
1'uk headline umu ot the Constitution is not
quit? dead ybt.
Mouton, of Indiaua, aud McMillan, of Min
nesota are the ouly Senators absent.
Senator Lamar, of Mississippi, will bogiu his
WOlk in the present Congress in good health,
Tunns were big bouquets ou the desks of But
ler, Blaine and Conkliug, when Cougress was
convened.
There are rumors that there will be war
against the President, by ltepublioaus in both
houses of Congress.
Tns best joke of the season was perpetrated
by He Dog, when lie called Sohurz “Scarlet
Scalp who burns his wigwam."
The “Old Capital” iu the bitterness of its sar
casm calls Beu Hill “Benjiman.” A spelling
bee is needed in the halls of our fathers.
Niles G. Parker, Radical ex-treasurer of
South Carolina, has beeu arrested in Jersey
City, on a requisition, and returned to South
Carolina.
All sorts of men are “spoken of," for the
Legislature, all over the State. This is what
“homo politics” amount to at present; ouly this
and nothing more.
Henry Ward Beecher received ten votes lor
chaplain of the House of Representatives. Wo
have always heard that some of those Congress
men were Beecher-like.
They are talking about sending Evau P. How
ell, of the Constitution to the Souate again.
That ticket suits us, and we'll slip up to Atlanta
some day and vote for him.
The Albany News thiuks the publication of
the Supreme Court reports is the cause of the
warfare between the Constitution and the Macon
Telegraph. Well, that is a reason.
Doesn’t it look like snreasm to appoint Aleck
Stephens chairman ol the committee ou weights
and measures ? He has less weight aud less
measure than any member in the House.
Eighty-three Ohio counties give Bishop, for
governor, 24,681 majority. Three of the re
maining five counties aro republican, and will
reduoe his majority so os to leave it but a lrac-
tion over 23,000.
The Macon Telegraph calls Harris “the yel
low fever recruit of the eleven able.” Next
thing you know Harris will make some reference
to fragments of chicken-pie clinging to the Tel
egraph editor's beard, and then there’ll be war.
Did yi u hear that thunder ? Threo counties solid lor
MilledgoviUe, says the Hawkinsville Dispatch, and George
Woods names them: Wilcox, Irwin, Montgomery .-Mil-
ledgeville Old Capital.
Wilcox votes 361; Irwin 306, and Montgomery
518; total 1,184! Not half as many vo es in all
these a9 Troup casts. Come, boys, can’t you get
up some bigger thunder than that?
Our friend Cabaniss, of the Monroe Adver
tiser, is putting in some big licks for Atlanta.
The Old Capital suggests to tho Macon mer
chants that they refuse to patronize the Adver
tiser, because of its stand in favor of Atlanta. If
such a suggestion had come from an Atlanta pa
per, the Macon and MilledgoviUe papers would
have called it bull-dozing, and been horrified.
A loving couple from LaGrunge left their re
spective spouses at home, and eloped to Atlanta
with matrimonial intents. They weie arrested
however.—Augusta Chronicle.
This is not true. Tho news editor of the
Chronicle should aim at some degree of accuracy
in his paragraphs. The persons alluded to lived
in Heard county, and it was the sheriff of Heard
county that had them arrested in Atlanta.
A Crawford County correspondent of the
Fort Valley Mirror says Hon. A. L. Miller, ot
the latter place, is spoken of for Seuator from
the 23d district. Without any disparagement
to others iu the district, we must say that the
23d conld not do better. Mr. Miller is talented,
and though young has a solid, well-balanced
judgment equal to that of most men of muturer
years. We should be glad to see him in the
Benate.
The El Paso Fuss.—Advices from El Paso
show a most serious aud threatening state of
affairs. The entire lower portion of El Paso
county is in the possession of a mob and Amer
icans thronghout the county have abandoned
their homes and fled to El Paso for safety.
Judge Howard, who killed Louis Cardis at
El Paso, on the 10th inst., succeeded iu making
his escape to Messima, where he still remuins.
AS TO THE CAPITAL.
The Macon Telegraph of Saturday last, says
the capital question “is purely of a local char
acter, aud involves no general principle.” Thii
is a change of position; the Telegraph has here
tofore put its advocacy on the ground of justice,
economy and purity of government—which
seem to us to be general principles.
Wid the Old Capital or the Macon Telegraph
tell us how it is wrong for Senator Hill to ex
press a preference for Atlanta, and right for
Representative Blount to express a preference
for Milledgeville ?
The “Old Capital” is allowing its correspon
dents to chop Ben Hill into mince-meat, because
of his capital letter; bat somehow it can't find
room for the letter.
The Milledgeville papers are writhing under
the solid arguments that Ben Hill put into his
letter on the location of the capital. They de
clare in their wrath that he has no business
to take sides on the question^ Some of them
are even so silly as to say he is not a Democrat
If he bad written a letter in favor of Milledge-
ville, they would never have got through prais
ing him.
The Old Capital says Ben Hill’s letter is
•musing; but it takes particular pains not to
give its readers a dance to be amused by
reading the letter.
The Old Capital has discovered that Atlanta
elected Ben Hill to the Senate. Then did not
Atlanta elect Speer and Ham to clerkships in the
Legislature?
Ben Hill writes in favor of Atlanta for the cap
ital. The Macon Telegraph undertaking to re
ply, says it the senatorial election were to be had
over again, Norwood would leat Hill. There's
a reply for yon; there’s argument. Surely logic
will die when the editors of the Telegraph give
up the ghost.
The man who continues to repeat the old song
about Spending millions-of dollars for a new cap-
itol in Atlanta, must be very reckless ot bis rep
utation.

within its limits.—Lumpkin Independent.
—Editors appear to be coming into favor.
Col. Thompson, of the Savnuuah News, Mr.
Gregg Wright, of the Chronicle nnd Constitu
tionalist, and Col. H. H. Jones of the Macon
Telegraph-Messenger arc recommended as suit
able gentlemen to represent Chatham,Richmond
and Bibb counties in the Legislature.
—The Columbus Times says: Harris county,
until very receutly, has been, from all accounts,
largely in favor of Milledgeville for the capital
of the State; but we have reliable information
that the past lew weeks have brought a great
change, nnd now it is believed that the larger
part of the county is iu favor of Atlanta. This
is probably owing to the fact that the mere sen
timent which at first inclined the people for
Milledgeville is giving way to calmer reasoning,
aud the “sober second thought” admonishes
voters that it is a question of convenience,State
dignity aud economy, which they are to decide
not for a year or two, but most probably for a
century to come.
The Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist
gets off the following:
The Constitution smirks because a miustrel
;troupe is going to perform in the Milledgeville
capital to-night. Why, bless your soul, thuro
has beon darker doings thau burnt cork operas
enacted 'neuth Kimball’s Atlautu Opera Houso.
That is true, but tho taunt comes with very
bad graoo from Augusta; and the chuckling
made over the so-called “good hit,” by tho pa
pers of Savauuah, Macou aud Milledgeville, is
likewise iu bad grace. Let us look into facts a
little.
Who is responsible for tho “dark doings” iu
tho “Kimball opera house?” Who did more
thau any other set of men to fasten Radicalism
with all its frauds aud oppressions on Goorgia?
Certain gentlemen from Augusta—Bullock,
Blodgett, Biyaut, Beard, Couley. The Augusta
men—tho men sent to Atlauta, to convention
aud legislature, by Augusta—did tnoro thau any
othors, to originate, perfect and execute tho
schemes that oppressed aud despoiled Georgia.
Augusta furnished two Governors and a State
Road superintendent to Georgia when hor peo
ple were helpless and her treasury lay opeu be
fore the spoilers. Augusta was controlled by
Radicals long after Atlanta had been redeemed.
Since she bad so mauy prominent actors in the
“dark doiugs," she should certainly not try to
lay the blame ou Atlanta.
And Savauuah played her part in tho “dark
doiugs." Sho contributed Aaron Alpeora Brad
ley, and Doveaux aud Clift and Atkins, and
Fiddliug Jim Sims to the troupe managed by the
Augusta end-men. Augusta’s Bullock appoint
ed Savannah's Jim Sims Judgo of tho District
Court—tho only case of the kind in Goorgia.
Aud Macon—virtuous Macou, whoso editors
cauuot think of Atlauta without a dangerous
attack of verbal diarrhea—furnished her share
of performers iu the grand combination. There
were Turner and Jeff Long and Fitzpatrick and
Franke and others whose names escape us—a
sweet-scented set, all. The present Mayor of
Macon was, if we mistake not, first nominated
by Jeff Long, and has never openly declared
himself a Democrat.
Milledgeville, tho pure, the good, the exalted,
kept Peter O’Neal iu the Legislature, long after
Atlauta had turned such cattle out forever.
Wo do not mention these things to decry tho
places named; but simply to show that the other
parts of the State hove their full share of the re
sponsibility for tho “dark doings” which have
co6t Gerogia bo much. They were all under the
domination of Radical rascals, loug utter Atlanta
had thrown off tho yoke aud begun tho battle
which ended in the redemption of the State.
Be just to Atlanta, brethren of the press. She
has done more thau any other city to redeem
Georgia from Radical rule and ruin, and she had
as little responsibility in the administration of
affairs, as any.
THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
Wo hope our readers will not forget, in the
midst of other matters, that the new constitu
tion is to be ratified on the 5th of December.
We have published the constitution iu full, and
have given a clear ami concise statement of the
points of difference between the new and tho
old one. The uew one is unquestionably better
than the old. Every one who has giv n any
attention to examining them, must be convinced
of that. We hope, then, that Troup county and
all Western Georgia will give a solid vote ou
the 5th of December for the uew constitution.
In the Democratic caucus, jn-t before the or
ganization of Congress, Raudali was noraiuati d
for speaker, with very little opposition. At the
organization Randall received 146 votes, aud
Garfield, candidate of the Republicans, 132. The
selection of Randall was undoubtedly tho beet
thiug that could have been done, and will meet
the approval of the Democracy all over the
Uuion. George M. Adams, of Koutucky, was
re-elected Clerk, and Johu G. Thompson, of
Ohio, sergeant-at-arms.
Mu. IIill favors Atlauta, aurl says it will, within a few
years be the centre of population iu Georgia. Mr. Hill’s
theory is wroug, aud his statement grossly unjust to this
section of Georgia. Southwest Georgia is growing rap.
idly iu point of population,and we propose to keep square-
ly in hue with other sections of the State.—Albany Newt.
How Mr. Hill does any section injustice by
thinking that another seotion will grow faster in
population, we ure at a loss to perceive. North
Georgia will certainly grow more rapidly iu pop
ulation than south-west Georgia, despite the
News’ proposition to “keep squarely in line.”
In the recent town elections in Connecticut,
the Democrats carried seventy-four towns, the
Republicans sixty-nine towns, and twenty-one
towns were divided.
—The Cuthbert Messenger tells tho following
experience of a Clay oounty cotton planter from
the river bottoms of that county. To the ques.
tion, why he did not bring his cottou to Cuth
bert? he said: “ ‘WeU, sir, I would’er been here
three weeks ago wid’tr bag of cotton, but the
neighbois said I must paternize the Gunl y Jor
dan, a new boat jest come on the river. I was
in for anything against the Central Railroad mo
nopoly, so I tuck one bag to the river and rolled
it into the water. She went down the river like
she was greased, and me and the old 'orn&u
waved our hats at it till it turned the bend,and
blame me if I've beam from my bale of cotton
yit, and the old ’oman has been ns mad as dinky
ever since. Yon ketch me shipping another bag
by the river; I'll haul it here to Cntbbert, where
I knows I can git the money.”’
A prominent Macon geutleinan.-tLe other day,
when told that Milledgeville was too small for
the capita 1 , remarked: “Oh, well, we’ll have the
departments in Macon*.” So you see Macon's
little game.
The Albany News says: “Mr. LeBaron Dru
ry, of Brunswick, who was in the city last week,
seems to have positive information to the effect
that the Brunswick and Albany railroad has been
sold to the English oompany, and with Mr.
Wheeler os President, will be pushed rapidly to
completion. We hnve no doubt the information
is correct*”
IN AlEMORIAM.
S ELDOM, except in the timo of some prevailing epl-
iilewic, is tliero so great and sad a breach, made by
death, in one day in the same family, as thut, which oc
curred ou Tuesday, the 0th inst., iu the family of Mr.
Jerry Moore, ol this city. His daughter, Miss Neely
Moore, aged eighteen years, died of typhoid fever at 12
m., aud her mother, Mrs. Nancy H. Moore, of paralysis,
at or about midnight, twelve hours alter the death of her
daughter. Young, handsome, healthful aud betrothed,
Neely hud a pleasing prospect of a happy, earthly life in
new and higher relations—aud was look lug forward to
anticipated years of domestic bliss aud usefulness iu this
life. But alas I “The spider’s most attenuated web is
cord, is cable, to mun’s strongest tie on earthly bliss.”
The destroyer came aud luid his ohilliug hand ou this fair
form, uml like a flower thut is cut down, Bhe withered and
died. Neely was the delight oi the household—a helper
and a comfort to her ufllictcd mother—and a joy to a dot
ing luthcr's heart. But tho inexorable sentence, “Dust
thou art; aud unto dust shalt thou return,” must bo exe
cuted; aud at tho appointed time,“Hc in whose hand our
breath is, and whose are all our ways,” brought her “to
death and to tho house appointed for all tho living.” Sol
emn wurniug to the young—to all. “Sot not your affec
tions on things on the earth.” “Layup your treasures
in heaven that your heart may be there also.” “Prepare
to meet thy God.” Neely was not a member of tLe
church by personal proiesslou, and yot her friends have
hope in her death. Her last words were: “I believe in
the Lord Jesus Christ I am trusting to Him. Lord Jesus
have mercy on mo.” Wo must leave her with Him who
“is able to save in the last extremity all who come unto
God by Him.”
Mrs. Naucy H. Moore was bom in Greene county, Ga.,
and at tho timo oi her death was fifty-tight years old. She
was formerly a member oi the church, called the “Chris
tian church,” known as OampbelHtcs or followers of Al
exander Campbell. After her marriage to Mr. Moore sho
became a member of the Presbyterian church; and so
coutinued until her death. Kind-hearted and generous,
she was ever ready to deny herself for tho comfort of
others. For several years past sho had been in feeble
health and disabled by paralysis for ac.lvo service in her
family, and for attendance on the services of tho sanctu
ary. But sho bore her trials with cheerfulness and resig
nation, and longed to go home to her hoavenly rest. And
when her beloved daughter died, and aho realized her
loss, the stroke fell so heavily on her feeble) mind and
frail body,that she too was very soon”aleoping in Jeaus,”
and now until He cornea she awaits the resurreotion of
her body, and the reunion of loved ones, in a blighter
world on high. A Fbikmd.
