Professor Foster, the meteorolo gist. predicts a great storm jeriod extending from Dec unber 4 to 17 during which will occur some of the most destructive winter storms of recent years. These storms will be much of the same nature as the great blizzird of last January. Heavy , snow and high winds will greatly impede railway travel and be advises the railways to prep ire for blockades that will occqr in the Western States about December 5 and reach the Eastern States on December 9. These storms will break up the drought in the South eastern States. There will be ener getic electrical disturb mens that will affect tel jgraph and telephone hues. He says that many lives and much property can be saved from loss by making preparations for the . severe weather of the storm perio 1 The New York Southern Society was organized on Monday for the purpose of bringing together southern men who have established their homes in New York. The society is composed of distinguish ed Southerners. During one of the speeches at their banquet the name of Lincoln was loudly applauded. Just before returning from the banquet ‘‘The Suwanee River” was sung by the whole gathering, some S’xty strong. The result of the election in s?v era] congressional districts is still unknown. Some remarkable changes have been made in the composition of the next House of Representa tives. The Republicans are report ed to have gained four members from Virgina, while the Democrats have gained three from New Eng land. Hon. William Morrison Jlie greit Revenue Reformer has been defeated, ;nd Speaker Carlysle’s seat will le contested by Mr. Thoebe who wag the working man’s can lidate in the district. The Goddess of Liberty on Bed loe’s Island, which was unveiled with such grand ceremonies two weeks ago. has not been lighted for a week, but remains in solemn dark ness for lack of fund-. Govern ment has no funds available for lighting the goddess, though over a million dollars were spent in its erection, unveiling and enthusiasm. Propositions for lighting i f bv pri vate parties have been rejected, and it will probably remain in dark ness until Congress makes an ap pro) r dio’. Considerable oi-tuss on is going on in ihe Protestant Episcopal Church on the proposition of a la ge faction in t e church to change its name to the Catholic Church of America or the Church of the Uni ted States. At the recent triennial session of the church, the proposi tion was discussed at great length ind the advoca'es of the change de veloped so much strength as to Cause alarm aim its opponents. Bev. Dr. Philips Brooks, of Boston, one of the most noted Episcopalian clergymen opposes the change and preached a sermon recently in which lie deplore I the effort as being one ca c dated to re ult in great harm to the church. PRISON REFORM. The .National Prison Congress has been in session in Atlanta during the week and is attended by a Jarge number of very Quotable people and officers of prisons in the country. The object of the Congress is to effect a reform in the treatment of the unfortunate? who may be consigned to imprison ment so that when they leave pris on there will he moie likelihood of their returning to a life of useful ness than of continuing in the course that caused their downfall. There is no doubt that great go id would resi.lt by rectifying the abuses that are practiced in sotm prisons, and the first step towards establishing a reform would be to get rid of some the brutal keepers, who are ofte > as great criminals as t.ie prisoners, though not convicted. If the Congress shall by its deliber ations succeed in creating a public sentiment which while demanding the ste m punishment according io law of all offenders, will at the same time have it done in a spirit of hu manity, its labors will not have been in vain. INA UG ERA TION OF GOVERN OR GORDON. On Tuesday last the 9th ii stant the new < hiel Executive of Georgia was inaugurated. The Genetai As sembly met in joint session for the purpose in accordance with the cus tom for such an occasion. General Gordon was escorted into the hall bv a number of distinguished ge i tlemen, Among the noted persons present were ex-President R. B. H lyas, Senators Brown and Col quitt, and Prof. Whaley of Yale, • x -Lieutenant Governor of Connec ticut. The oath of office was admin istered by Chief Justice Jackson who handed him the great seal of the State. The Governors inaugu ral was delivered in his usual elo quent style, its main features being a strong plea for the State Rights doctrine, while conceding the ne cessity for a strong national govern in'. Lt, nod th <t“our independence as a ti it ion has become so surely es- tablished that with a permanent union between the States and a general concord among the people, all the combined powers of the earth could scarcely compass our national destruction. There is not upon this globe a civilized people among whom the American Repub lic is not known and esteemed. There is not a civilized nation where her power and influence is not felt and respected. There is not a corner cf the earth on land or sea, where the flag of this mighty nation is not potential to protect the rights and red re-s the wrongs of its humblest citizen, yet the tendency and growing sentiment for a stronger central government was to be viewed with alarm as tending to the abso ption of the States.” The Governor concluded his address in the following language: “To aid them in preparing the States for the still broader and more general duties of the future becomes a commanding obligation upon all patriotic citizens. Yield ing to the Federal government the most loyal devoiion; earnestly sup porting it in all its constitutional vigor as the “sheet anchor” of peace and safety, let Georgians resolve that this State at least shall be pre pared for whatever the future may have in store for it. Let the broad est and most practical education of her children bean object of univer sal concern. Let her rich mental capabilities, her varied mineral and manufacturing resources and all her transportation facilities be assidu ously developed. Let her agricul ture, which is the foundation of her prosperity and upon which < e >ends tier pr< gress, in every direction be an ouject, of peculiar and absorbing interest, and be encouraged and promoted by every legitimate sup port. Let tier high credit be sus tained at its present honorable and enviable standard. Let the most capable of her sons realize that in i he service of their State, in making her laws, shaping her policits and advancing her material interests, are great honors and fertile fields fur usefulness. Let the wise care of her Christian charities, and the re torraa ion of her prisons and the -till higher elevation of pu die morals enhance the just pride and augment the self-respect of her people and add new glories to the already splendid history of oi r b< - loved State. m mm DONE AT Cheapest Rates, with neatness A X i) DISPATCH AT THIS OFFICE.
