The Fairborn Weekly Star.—This is the
name ot a new paper just issued in Fairburn,
by Mr. M. M. Barron, formerly of the Nowdau
Blade and the Franklin News. We are glad to
tee him in harness again after his retirement of
A few months. He is a worthy gentleman and a
good journalist. The Star is a capital paper,
and we hope it may have tho largest success.
Owen Weight (colored), who brutally outraged
a white lady a month ago near Crawford, Ala.,
was taken irom the jail at Saale, Ala., on the 3d,
Ipat., by the people, who carried him to the
wooda and, there hung him. His victim
.folly identified him. The record of this man,
though short, has been a violent one. It appears
that about a week ago Owen Wright alias Owen
Marks went to Atlanta to appear before the
United States Court as chief witness against
about twenty men arrested in Newton county
OB a oharge of being kuklux.
It has been generally believed heretofore, that
Ben Hill is a man of some taleDt; but the editors
of the Old Capital say he is nothing but "a peri
patetic vendor of cheap opinions." They as-
4gn this as a reason why they do not publish
Mr. Hill’s letter on the capital question. The
trae reason is that they are afraid to publish it.
They attack it and misrepresent its author, but
they dare not publish the letter.
This same paper says if the negroes are being
told that a new capital costing $2,000,000 will
ha*a to be bnilt if Atlanta wins, nothing is
known of it at "headquarters." But that state-
mmt is used with the whites, and is deceiving
tha more ignorant of them. Do "the lieadquar-
tn" have more respect for the ignorance of the
n for that of the whites.
TUESDAY'S ELECTIONS.
It ianot easy just now to make a genreal es
timate of the effects of Tuesday’s elections.
The Democrats gained Pennsylvania, kept New
Jataey, sustained some loss in Connecticut, and
did not do aa well in New York as they expected.
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Kansas and Wiscon
sin went Republican of course, and Maryland
Virginia and Mississippi went the other way, of
coarse.
MeClellan wae elected Governor of New Jer
sey by about 13,000 majority. Pennsylvania is
Democratic for the first time ia we torget how
long by aboat 10,000. New York is Demo
cratic by aboat 15,000—a very small majority;
and the Legislature is propably Republicau by a
vary close vote.
It is evident that the greeubaok and working-
men's parties are gaining strength in the North,
ia4 that the calculations of the Republicans and
Democrats were seriously interfered with by
FORAGING ON OUR EXCHANGES.
AS TO THE CAPITAL.
In 1868 Macou tried to bribe the Radical con
stitutional convention to locate the capital in
that city. That is, we suppose it was a bribe;
IBs Mayor of Macou officially notified Mr. Sam
Govs, a Radical member of the convention, that
Maooh would give as much as any other city to
havo tbs capital located there, and this is what
foi Mr.C’rio Telegraph now calls a bribe.
flhas eoat the tax-payers of Georgia seven million, five
msd twenty-four thousand, five hundred and sin dol-
aore to keep the capital at Atlanta nine years, than
latMffiedgeviUe, tho preceding nine years.—Old
Will the Old Capital answer a fair question ?
Was this expense alluded to attributable to the
seat of government being in Atlanta ? Yes, or
lb; let ns have a straight-forward answer.
The Old Capital sajs, by implication, that
Boa Rill is not s Democrat, and yet the senior
edits* of the Old Capitol, while olerk of the
Howe of Representatives, worked manfully to
eteet him to the Senate.
MUi the I*Qrange Reporter please inform us why a
Osm sepitol at Atlanta wont cost $2,000,000, and why It
OU cost $250,000. If you are absolutely convinced and
OtmksUly correct let the light in upon un.—Old Capital.
Ws did not sav that a new cApitol in Atlanta
I SCSI $260,000. We said a capitol "fairly
g"could be built for that sum, and it is
not St ill likely that more than that would he
r Atlanta. We did say, and do
W t that $2,000,000 will not be spent. We
know that Atlanta cannot spend it and the State
Wtlloot. Atlanta is not able to spend that
Aim, gad the only way in which the State oould
•tpetod it would be by an appropriation of the
LegislEtmre. Nobody is foolish enough to be-
Neve that any Georgia Legislature will appro-
Ml $2,000,000 for a capitol.

—A represenativo of the Macon Telegraph
has had a talk with Mr. M. W. Stinson, a inorn-
of ihe firm of Oglertee & Stiuson, who own ihe
Magnolia stook farm in Crawford county, ou the
Flint river, which embraces seven thousand
acres in a single body. The enterprise was com
menced two years ago, and already they have
enclosed 3,000 acres with a substantial plank
fence, and expect to surround the whole tract m
the same manner during the ensuiug winter.
A saw-mill on the premises furnishes the boards,
and by actual calculation they have found this
method of fenoing cheaper and far more durable
than ordinary rails. The farm will be subdivided
into thee equal parts, one-third of which will be
laid down iu oats and small grain, one-third iu
corn and tho remamder devoted to pasturage.
A year since 125 sheep, 60 Angora goats,
two hundred and fifty bead of cattle, and
25 brood sows were purchased aud shepherd
dogs were procured irom Chicago. It is inten
ded to double the number of stook immedi
ately, and there is every prospect that the in
vestment will prove highly renumerative. As
an earnest of this, already from the 125 sheep
in a single year have been realized 400 pounds
of wool, whioh sold at 25 oeuts per pound, and
an inorease of ninety-five lambs, worth 2 dollars
each on the plantation. A single shepherd, with
the aid of one of these tiained dogs, can keep
together and pen at night five hundred sheep.
Messrs. Ogletree & Stinson are importing the
best merino buoks and thoroughbred cattle and
swine, and intend to act on the prinotple that it
costs no more to raise a blooded animal than a
wretched scrub. They will send to market fifty
fat beoves next spring, and sell weekly a large
amouut of the choicest butter.

to liquidate the interest when due thirty days

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 3, 1877.
THANKSOIVINO.
Among many things to be thankful for ou the
day set apart by Mr. Hayes for thanksgiving,
and on all the other coming days of our existenoe
as a nation, is our escape from Cameron's ap
pointment as minister to England. To be sure,
tho Secretary of State saved us only by refusing
to do what ho had promised to do, but tho sin
of breaking such a promise will sit lightly on
the conscience of the Secretary. The restora
tion of friendly feelings throughout the oouutry,
the coming accession to power of the Demo
cratic party, the unprecedented harvests of the
year, and the annihilation of Cameron will at
ODce occur to all devout and patriotio people as
prime causes for thanksgiving.
resumption.
There was in the House yesterday what may
be considered a test vote on the resumption re
peal question. The vote was on a preliminary
question, and it is extiemely doubtful if a vote
can be had ou the passage of the bill for some
time. There wero 132 members who voted in
such a way as to indicate that they favored re
peal aud 124 on the other side. On a full vote
there would probably be a small majority for
repeal. The question has not oome up in the
Senate.
THE ARMY.
The House Millitary Committee has agreed
upon an appropriation for the year ending June
30, 1878, for an army of 21,000 men. This is a
compromise uumber, some favoring more and
6ome less. The amount supposed to be neces
sary for this force, is $22,000,000. The House
is evidently determined that the army shall not
be increased, and unquestionably, the country
will sustain its action in this respeot.
HOME AGAIN.
The administration party that visited Rich
mond the other day returned last night. Its
welcome everywhere was cordial. There was a
repetition ot the soeues at Louisville and Atlanta
all classes taking part in the reception.
MORTON.
It is probable many Senators'will attend the
funeral of Seuator Mortou. Though this dis
tinguished man often compelled Republican
Senators to follow him, he was himself a reluc
tant follower of more Radical men. Once com
mitted to a soheme, his energy and ability were
devoted to its service without stint. It will be
remembered that he at first resisted the efforts
to confer unqualified suffrange upon the liberat
ed blacks, and was inclined to support Presi
dent Johnson in his policy of restoration. It
whs only by the exertions of men like Tbad
Stevens that he was finally brought into what
may be called the Radical and controlling por
tion of the Republican party. All the Senators,
Democrats as well as Republicans, were per
sonally on very friendly terms with Seuator
Morton.
PATTERSON.
There are an welcome indications that pro
ceedings against Seuator Patterson aud other
prominent political parties, for crimes com
mitted in South Caroliua, will not be vigorously
pushed. It would seem to be hardly just to
make the sins of these prominent and intelli
gent persons the subject of a political compro
mise, while the semi-barbarians of the State are
punished to the extent of the law for similar
offenses. After doing so much it is to be hoped
that the authorities of South Carolina, will not,
like those of Louisiana, allow the wicked to go
unpunished. It is not sound morals to condone
orimes like theirs for the sake of temporary po
litical advantage. Albion.
Col. Kino’s farm on the Rio Grande consists

now owns, besides the land,22,000 horses, 30,000
cows, 75,000 sheep, and 30,000 males. He em
ploys 300 - Mexicans as herders. Most of the
land has been fenced at an enormous cost. He
despises "book learning," but has become wel{
educated in the ways of the world. He lives ex
