SAVANNAH. GA , Nov’ber 6, 1886.
The inaugaration of General
John B. Gordon, as Governor of
Georgia, will take place on Tuesday
the 9th instant.
The EFFORT on the jparf of’ the
Prohibitionists and the auti-Prohi
bitionists to unite on il ticket for
the municipal election in Atlanta
has proved a failure. The report of
their mixed committee of fifty has
been followed by a split ami at
present it looks as though there will
be two tickets in the field.
The Tribune has been sent tooui
friends not only in the city but in
all parts of the country with an in

The law taxing oleomargarine
went into effect on the first instant,
and consumers cannot now be im
posed on by having bogus butter
sold them tor the pure article. 'fin-
New York Tribune of th j 2d instant
Ims this to say on the : object:
•‘The great rush yesterday of oleomar
garine manufactures and wholesale
dealers for internal revenue stamps and
Ijfenses is the best possible proof that
z'flie bogus butter tax law was needed
ft shows the immensity of the fraud
perpetrated upon the consumers, for,
heretofore, if one judged only from the
amount of oleomargarine in sight in the
market, two or three factories could
have supplied it all. Now, probably, a
different state of things will prevail.
Packages bearing oleomargarine stamps
will presently be seen in every direction,
and ir will be the consumer’s own fault
if he buys what he don’t want. Under
these conditions there may be no more
objection to the manufacture of bogus
butter than of any other imitation article
of trade.
Hon. T. V. Powderly, Grand
Master Workman of the Knights
of Libor recently visited Cardinal
Gibbons at Baltimore in accordan e
with instructions given him by the
i convention of Knights lately held
at Richmond. The object of Mr.
Powderly’s visit was to convince
the Cardinal that the organization
of the Knights if Labor was not a
secret society of such a nature as
te merit proscription by the Catho
lic church. The arguments of Mr.
Powderly were carefully noted and
were considered by the Archbish
ops who were in consultation wth
the Cardinal on church matters.
Mr. Powderly is himself a strict
Catholic, a»'d has several prominent
Priests who are pronounced in the
lawfulness of the Knights organiza
tion from a church standpoint. It
is very probable that the Cardinal
and Prelates will decide that the
K nights’ society is not such a secret
body as has been condemned by the
church.
DEATH OF HON. GEORGE R.
BL A OK.
The above named gentleman died j
at his residence in Sylvania,Scriven
county, on Tuesday night, last. Col. |
Black represented this district in
Congress in 1880 and 1882. He!
was stricken with paralysis while in
the discharge of his duties as a con
gressman but improved very much
afterwards. The deceased was a
courteous gentleman and was great
ly liked by all who came in contact
with him, and his death will be very
generally regretted throughout tl.e
district.
THE LATE ELECTION,
On Tuesday last elections' went
held in thirty-five states •of the
Union for Congressmen, and *in
seventeen of them for Governors,
and nineteen United States Senators
are to be chosen by legislators
elected on that day. At the time of,
writing this article it is impossible
to state the result of the election
for Congressmen, both parties
c’aiming to have a majority of the
newly elected members. The
present Holi-e of Repres ’illative
contains 183 Democrats, 140 Re
publicans and 2 Geenback-L (bor
membeis. '1 he vote will very prob
ably be very near equal between
the two great parties in the new
Congress, and it is likely that the
Greenback-Labor members, sajflkto
be some four or live, Will ho d -|he
balance of
il days belorp the tiue result is
known as the vdte was very el s*
in many districts, and. the (tlicial
conn’ will be ri qliired to determin
who is elected. 7. \ T .

the return which has rewarded the
labors of those who till the soil and
for our progress as a people in all

of God in earthquake, flood and

those who have been shielded from
harm through His mercy be turned
in sympathy and kindness toward
those who have suffered tlnough
His visitations. Let us also in the

vice may by deeds of charity be
made acceptable in the sight of the
Lord.
