■ THE WOULD.
■he unveiling of Bartholdi's
■mt staue of Liberty on Bidloe’s
kland'at New '.'ork on lust Thtirs
iuy whs a memorable occasion to all
Iniericaus, and the vibration of
latriotism was felt all over the
lountry. The statue is of bronze
ln<l is the gift of the French people
>0 the United States, the citizens
kt which have erected it on a shaft
|r petieS'lal three hundred and six
leet above low water mark. It pre
lents a most grand and imposing
light, that is very gratifying to all
liberty loving people.
I A laige delegation of some of
he most distinguished citizens of
prance honored the occasion with
I >eir presence, among whom was
the distinguished artist himself who
s justly very proud of his famous
masterpiece of art President
bleveland and his cabinet were
Ireseut sis well as dignitaries and
Ifficials from various part- of the
Biuntry. »All public offices and
Ind schools Were dosed, and it is
Istimated that over 30.000 were in
■>e parade which consisted of the
liilitary, ami civic societies, and the
liaval demonstration in the afier
|oon was fully equal to the occasion,
i'he pyrotecnical display at night
W* one of the grandest ever wit
lessed in New’ York, and wel
vorthy as a grand finale to the
nemorable event.
The following is the conclu.-ion
4 the address of Hon. Ch.mm yM,
Jepew the orator of the day :
ITS MEANING.
“It means that with the abolition of
>rivi|egcs to the few and the infrantfhi-e
--ueat of ind viduals, equality of all men
tefore the law and universal suffrage, a
lallot from fraud and voters
‘foiij intimidation, the press free and
education furnished by the state lor all,
liberty of worship and tree speech, the
riaht. to rise and equal opportunity for
honor and fortune, the problems of
labor and capital, of social regeneration
and moral growth, property and poverty
will work themselves out under the
benign enfluenee of an enlightened, law
making and law-abiding liberty without
th- aid of kings and armies, or of an
archists and bombs. Through the obel
isk so strangely recalled to us of yester
day the past of twenty centuries a for
gotten monarch says: 1 am the. great
king, the conqueror, the chastiser of
natioffs,’ and except as a monument of
antiquity it conveys no meaning and
touches no chord of human sympathy,
Jru’ for unnumbered centuries to come,
as liberty levels up the people to higher
standards and a border life, this statue
will grow in the admiration and affec
tion of mankind, When Franklin drew
the 1 ghjning from the clouds he little
dreamed that in the evolution of science
his di’overy would illuminate the torch
of\zKherty fir France and America.
Tfays from this beacon, lighting this
gateway to the continent, will welc me
the peer and perceeuted with hope and
promise of home and citizen? hp. It
will teach them that there is room and
brotherhood for all who will support our
institutions and aid in our development,
but that those who come to disturb our
peace and dethrone our laws areidiens
and enemies forever. I devoutly believe
that, from the unseen and unknown two
great souls have come to participate in
this celebration. The faith in which
they d« id is fulfilled, the cause for
which they battled is triumphant, the
pe pie they loved in the full enj yment
of the rights for which they abored and
fought and suffered—the spirit voices of
Wa-hingtou and Lafayette join in the
glad acclaim of France and the I’nii d
Mams to Liberty Enlightening the
jjVorld.”

The Election for members. of the [
•50 th Congress takes place on next
fimsday, and both the Republican
and Democratic parties are putting,
forth unusual efforts to secure a]
majority. None of the democratic
candidates have any opposition in
this state.
It is well knovn tint the French
people do not obey the injunction
to love thy neighbor as thyself,
towards the Germans. This they
have shown by boycotting beer
made in Germany. It would be
interesting if the Germans should
retaliate by refu-ing to drink tiie
fine wines for which France is
famous.
I HE Atlanta Defiance states that
the libel case against Hon. W. A.
Pledger has been continued to the
heel of the session by the Supreme
Court where it has been carried on
a writ of error by him. The peo
ple in this state are famili r with
this case against Col. Pledger and
if is to be hoped that the Supreme
Court will see the unwisdom of
confirming the desision of the
court below which was against him
Rev. Samvel Hi tchenson, pos
sibly the ablest colored revivalist
in the country, has been appointed
by Bishop Turner, to go through
the entire work, and do revival la
bor. He will render infinite sei

pastors will turn over their church
es to him while there. Poweriui

few ministers do—Southern Re

The prohibition and anti-Prohi
bition people of Atlant i are trying
haul to unite on a ticket that will
be satisfactory to both sides and
for the good of the city. At a
meeting held a few nights since a
committee of fifty was appointed,
twei tyfive fom each side to form
a ticket, and it will require two
thirds of the whole number to make
a nomination. It is scarcely prob
able that they will be able to agree
and tiie candidate of each f iction
will have to “tote his own skillet”
or little brown jug.

Washington, Oct. 9,1886.
AVr. A. Hu fin Nichol*:
Mv Dear Si a—l have received
your letter asking for pecuniary aid in
repairing the Emanuel African Metho
dist Episcopal Church which was seri
ously damaged by the recent earth
quake. 1 am very glad to contribute
something for so worthy a cause, and
though the sum is uot large it is accom
panied by the wish that through the
kindness oi those who appreciate the
value of such au iostrurmntalitv for
good your church may 8 'on resume its
career of usefulness. Yours very truly,
Grover Cleveland.
I Geronimo tne celebrated Indian
I chief and his warriors who so sue--
icei-sfullv defied the United States
army for many years, but was
recently captured by the U. S.
forces, have been sent to Fort Pick
j ens by direction of the Secretary
of War, where they will be incar
cerated until the Government shall
j otherwise order. The squawsand
ichi'dren of the band have been
taken to Fort Marion in Flo 1 ida
where they will remain until other
wise directed by the war authorities
When being separated from their
braves the squaws indulged in the
wildest lamentations, which was
very distressing to the men.
The State Fair at Macon was
formally opened on Wednesday
last and will continue all of next
week. A large crowd is in atten
dance, and while considerable in
terest is manifested the exhibits are
deficient in some respects to what
they were last year. The mechani
cal and agricultural displays are
very creditable. The races and
fire department contest form a very
important feature of the fair.
There is no doubt that on the
whole the fair will be a success.

The municipal campaign in New
York city is attracting the attention
of the people all over the country,
There are three candidates for
Mayor namely, Messrs. Abram
He\fitt who has the support of
Tiynmany Hall and the county De
mocracy, Theodore Roosevelt the
Republican candidate, and Henry
George the candidate of the labor
or workingmen party. The people
of New ork are thoroughly arous
ed and every inch of ground is
being s übbornlv contested. The
candidates are all men of the high
est character, and there is therefore
no mud slinging. Hewitt and Roose
vi It as well as their friends gre ifly
fear tiie election »>f George on ac
count of the danger which his (“lec
tion would threaten 8 ciety. They
claim that if George is elected the
socialists or arnarchist views and
doclrines will assume formidable
proportions. They are three strong
men and one’s chances of election
seems to be as good as the others.
Whoever is elected will have h’s
hands full in purifying the official
morals of the city as it is said that
corruption and rascality has grown
bold over success.
Congress at its last session passed
a law authorizing the construction
of a public building in Savannah at
a cost of $200.1)0(1 and made an ap
propriation of $5°,000 to com
mence the work. Since th* law
was passed the Treasury officials
having charge of such matters,
have been actitely at work to se
cure a suitable site for the building
Bids were received for furnishing
a proper site, but the one recom
mended by the special Treasure
Agent ns suitable, northwest corner
of Bull and South Broad streets, is
objectionable on account of the price.
I'he owner of the propertv ask
s62,ooo for it which is considered
exorbitant by the Speci d Agent
who Values it at between S4O 000
and $45,000. The Secretrry of the
I reasury it is said will approve the
Special Agent’s report to acquire
the property by cond mnation, but
is in doubt as to his po ,w zer
to do so and the law officer
of the g iverninent will be called on
for an opinion in the premises, and
if there is no authority under the
law for such a course, the matter
will be referred to Congress. From
rhe present outlook it would seem
that work on the ‘‘new public
building” will not be started until
far into next year.
