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 vitation to subscribe. This is the last issue we can send free and all who do not subscribe will be drop ptd from the roll. The price of the paper has been put at a' low figure in order to place it within the reach of ali. The municipal election in New York resulted as follows: Aorain S. Hewitt 90,296 voles, Henry Ge >rge 07,699 and I’he.odore Roosevelt 60. 392. Mr. Roosevelt was the IL publcan c iiididate but did not poll his lull party vote, manv Republi cins voting for Mr. Hewitt, the democratic candidate probably with a view of more, surely defe>ting tin election of Mr. George tin- labor party candidate who wis charged with having socialistic or anarchis’ tendencies. The will-4 Mrs. A. T. Stewart. vvljO tiie widow of the great New i ork million! ire drv goods merchant whoa* body was stolen b\ thieves so. n after his death, ha bgcuijildd in the Surrogates office with the usual formalities. Th ■ estate i< os incited to beot the val tie of $30,000,<'()(), and is heq”e ith ed principally to relatives. Judge Hilton who has managed the estate lor Mrs. Stewart since her bus band’s death is authorized to furnish and endow a home for women at Garden City if lie thinks it expedi ent and proper to do so. The erec tion and endowment of buildings and institutions in connection with the Cdhedial at that plac** is also left to his discretion. 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 .
