<$J)C IfaWauQt KORAQING ON 21 R EXCHANQES - Tho Ismolitus nru to build u synagogue in r\()KANOK, UKOIUJIA,. .. OC'T. 18, 1877 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.

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.
