GEORGIA’S NEW CONGRESSMAN.
The question of the election of Georgia’s
eleventh representative in the Fifty-second
Congress is already being agitated in many
sections of the StatP, and a number of can
didates have been mentioned as the right
sort of men to go to Congress from the
State-at-large. Some of our contempo
raries seem to think this agitation is pre
mature, holding that there will be no Con
gressman from the State-at Large, but that
the Legislature will redistrict tiie State,
and will provide for the election of a Con.
gressman from the Eleventh distriet. If
the reapportioninent bill passes Congress
as now proposed, Georgia’s new represen
tation in he F’ifty-second Congress must
necessarily come from the State-at-large.
Elections have already been held in the
present districts, and ten Congressmen
have been, or will be, certified by the Gov
ernor to the next Congress. If the State
is redistricted for that Congress in order to
create the Eleventh district, an election
would be required in each of the new dis
tricts, and the ten Congressmen-elect
would have to go to the people again. A
Congressman from the . State-at-large for
tiie next two years will fill the bill.
MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Buena
Vista Patriot, lashes itself into a fury
over what it is pleased to style “The En
quirer-Sun's Buncombe,” and very un
justly accuses The Enquirer-Sun of
working “to pull the wool over the far
mer’s eyes by the statement that the bet
ter grades of cotton find ready sale at
Columbus at ‘tolerably fair prices.’ ” The
“buncombe,” so-called, is based on a local
article in this paper which simply stated
facts, and The Patriot cannot possibly,
with intelligent justice, construe anything
in ii as an attempt to make capital for
Columbus at. the expense of small towns.
The information upon which the article
was written came from parties direct from
the small towns, and the statements were
from their own experience: The course
of the Knqui kek-Sun towards the small
cit ies around her does not justify the Pa
triot in charging an attempt to make
capital for this city at the expense of the
small towns. The Patriot knows better,
and should not attempt to create a false
impression in the minds of its readers con
cerning a journal that lias ever been the
friend and advocate of Buena Vista and
the smaller towns. “The thrusts” were
in the heated imagination of the Patriot
and not in the article.
Our esteemed weekly contemporaries
arc taking a holiday this week in order to
give the overworked printer a much needed
rest.
The jury in the conspiracy and murder
trial now pending in the Federal Court in
Macon have a slim prospect for a happy
Christmas. The ease has already occupied
twelve days, and it will probably be as
many more before a verdict is reached. It
is estimated that the case is costing the
government and defense over $1000 a day.
It would be a great pity if the State, af
ter committing itself to the establishment
of a colored University in order to get the
Government agricultural appropriation,
should, owing to any irregularity, fail to
get the money. But just now, according
to our Washington correspondent, there is
a hitch of that sort.
The Connecticut Legislature has iixe
it. Under a new law the railroads are
prohibited from furnishing passes to mem
bers, but each member assigning his mile
age to the State Comptroller will receive
from that official a ticket for the session
between Hartford and the station near his
residence.
The opinion is expressed in Washington
that the proposal change in the Senate
rules, nominally intended to hasten action
on the Force bill, is really to delay action
on that bill, which will be defeated, even
though the rules should be. changed. It is
alleged t hat the silver men have hit upon
this roundabout method to get at the legis
lation they desire. It will be well for Dem-
o-ratic Senators not to let themselves be
fooled by this sort of talk.
So good a Republican authority as the
New York Tribune states that the negroes
of Kansas City have petitioned the Chief
of Police for permission to hold ghost
dances. They said that a Messiah had ap
peared to them, and had ordered them to
dance aud prepare for the end of the
world, which would come for the white
folks in a short time, and the Indians and
negroes would be left to control the earth.
Somebody has been stuffing The Tribune
The Ilartselle (Ala.) Enquirer makes
the interesting discovery that there is a
peculiar phenomenon going on in the
United Mates. Every time that the farm
ers in any pait of the country get together
and form an association of any kind and
commence to discuss the political situation
and the cause thereof, the Republican
vote in that section decreases in the pre
cise ratio that the farmers' movement gains
tUxn.th.
The City Council at its first regular
meeting in January, will, it is presumed,
give some consideration to the recent mes
sage of Mayor Dozier, which contained a
number of important and practical recom
mendations. We have been prevented by
a combination of circumstances from re
ferring to this message before, but the de
lay is a matter of no material consequence
as no definite action can be taken on it
until the meeting referred to. It is proper,
however, to say in this connection that the
message is a very cemprehensive and
thorough document, giving evidence that
the Mayor has bestowed careful and earnest
attention upon the various interests of the
city, and that the several departments have
had his vigilant and zealous investigation
In the opening of his message the Mayor
refers to the general dissatisfaction which
followed the census enumeration, and the
persistent efforts that were made to secure
a recount, and which were finally success
ful, and resulted in showing an increase
of 3000 over the first account.
The action leading up to the drafting of
a new city charter, in which many impor
tant and desirable changes are made, is
presented by the Mayor in a clear and forci
ble style. Under this charter one of the
most important objects gained is the defi
nite announcement of the police jurisdic
tion, by extending the limits and defining
one mile and a half in every direction from
the corporate lines to constitute a police
district.
The vital importance of a thorough san
itary and sewerage system is intelligently
discussed in the message, and the question
of issuing bonds for the inauguration of
this grand work will come before the pres
ent Council. This is a matter
of the greatest interest to the
community, and the Mayor has
not given too much prominence to the
subject. It is to be hoped that the Council
will give it that deliberation and wise
action which its importance demands at
the earliest moment.
The Mayor expresses great gratifica
tion at the success of the Chattahoochee
Valley Exposition, and advances the opin
ion that the city was fully reimbursed for
every dollar expended in its aid:
and further ventures the assertion
that it would be sound policy for the city
to render the company liberal aid in future
expositions.
The finances of the city are reported to
be in excellent condition; the fire protec
tion so effective that the business com
munity is justified in asking a reduction
in rates of insurance. This is a matter
which should have some consideration
The losses by fire during the past year have
been trivial and the Mayor’s conclusions
and suggestions in the premises are wefi
drawn.
The recommendations in the message
which appeal for approbation to the judg
ment of the Council are of a practical
character, and should be vitalized into
effective factors. One of these recom
mendations is that a fee for storage of
powder at the powder magazine be estab
lished. At present it appears that the
magazine is not only not a source of rev
enue to the city, but is maintained at
positive loss. If this were to the benefit
of the few dealers, or the consumer, there
would be no special objection to this free
storage, but it is altogether to the advant
age of foreign manufacturers. It is emi
nently right that a fee should be exacted
for this storage, and the Council will do
well to follow out the Mayor’s suggestions
on this point.
The recommendation of the Mayor in
reference to the hospital, is also one that
should have cordial endorsement and favor
able action. Such an institution is indis-
pensible in a city like Columbus, and as
experience has demonstrated that the pres
ent hospital is inadequate for the purpose,
the suggestion of the Mayor that a good
eligible 4 site, in a healthy locality con
venient of access by street or dummy line
to the city be purchased and a modern,
comfortable, but not necessarily expensive
building be erected thereon, is well
timed. There is little doubt that the cur
rent expenses of a first-class hospital
would be largely decreased by paying
patients, persons who would prefer, in
event of long and serious illness, to be
where they could have the best regular
medical attention, to avail them
selves of its privileges rather than remain
in a hotel or boarding house. Therefore,
the recommendations in reference to the
hospital should have great weight. The
sooner action is taken in the premises the
better.
Most heartily does the Enquirer-Sun
agree with the Mayor in his final recom
mendation touching the obstructions on
the streets and sidewalks. This is a patent
evil, and calls for a remedy. The present
ordinance, it appears, is inoperative and
virtually a dead letter on the statute
books. The Mayor suggests that this ordi
nance be repealed and that a committee with
the corporation attorney be empowered
to devise an ordinance broad and liberal
in its comprehension to meet the require
ments of the ease, and which can be en
forced thoroughly and satisfactorily. In
closing his excellent message, the Mayor
pays a deserved tribute to the public
school system, which is on a permanent,
satisfactory and flourishing basis. We
commend the various suggestions and rec
ommendations in the document to the
thoughtful judgment of the City Council,
and shall be glad to chronicle their prac-
t'cal inauguration.
An amusing story is afloat in Hartford
about Samuel L. Clemens and Rev. Joseph
H. Twichell. It seems that the ientlemen,
who are enthusiastic bicycle riders, were
pedaling along side by side one day, when
the author of “Roughing It” suddenly
took a “header.” Mr. Twichell slowed up
and was about to dismount to aid his
friend,when Mr. Clemens said: Don’t stop,
Joe; go right along. I think I’ll stop here
a while to swear.—Hartford Post.
Fiv. Mr. Twichell is well known in
Georgia among the old Confederate sol
diers, who remember the kindness he dis
played to our wounded at the battle of
Gettysburg. They will enjoy this little
narrative, knowing the gentleman’s relish
for anything amusine.
THE COTTON MOVEMENT.
The New Tork Financial and Commer
cial Chronicle of the 25th gives the fol
lowing information in reference to the
movement of the cotton crop for the week
ending Friday, the 19th inst.:
The total receipts have reached 266,327
bales, against 257,529 bales last week and
241,318 bales the previous week, making
the total receipts since the 1st of Septem
ber, 1890, 3,964,426 bales against 3,869,671
bales for the same period of 1889, showing
an increase since September 1, 1890, of
94,755 bales.
The exports for the week reached a total
of 191,666 bales, of which 89,942 were to
Great Britain, 15,495 to France and 86,229
to the rest of the continent.
The imports into continental ports this
week have been 117,000 bales.
The above figures indicate an in
crease in the cotton in sight Friday night
of 178,681 bales as compared with
the same date of 1889, an increase of
450,727 bales as compared with the corres
ponding date of 1888, and an increase of
192,019 bales as compared with 1887.
The v.otal receipts from the plantations
since September 1 are 4,404,294 bales; in
1889 were 4,222,319 bales; in 1888 were
3,801,901 bales.
Although the receipts at the outports
the past week were 266,327 bales, the actual
movement from plantations were 303,161
bales, the balance going to increase
the stocks at the interior towns. Last
year the receipts from the plantations
for the same week were 296,539 bales, and
for 1888 they were 298,443 bales.
The increase in the amount of cotton in
sight on Friday night as compared with
last year is 271,248 bales. The excess as
compared with 1888 is 657,542, and the
gain over 1887 reached 112,426,
In regard to the speculative movement
the Chronicle says:
The speculation in cotton for future de
livery at this market opened the week un
der review with an uncertain tone, but on
Monday took a stronger tone. The im
provement was due in considerable degree
to the reports of measures agreed upon and
proposed for the relief of the financial sit
uation, and a buoyant market on the
Stock Exchange. But on Tuesday a dull
Liverpool market, increased receipts at the
ports and a weak stock market, caused
selling to realize, under which most of
Monday’s advance was lost. There was be
sides a half-holiday tone to all speculative
circles and a general disposition
to postpone action until the be
ginning of the new year; and on
Wednesday the fluctuations were within
the narrowest limits, with transactions
footing up a very small aggregate. On
Thursday prices declined a few points
under a weak Liverpool report, hut at the
ower prices there was more doing, and
the close, in view of comparatively small
receipts at interior towns, was steadier
and more active. The market Friday was
very unsettled. The opening was weak,
but an early improvement took place on a
steadier closing at Liverpool and a smaller
interior movement for the week. Then a
mometary decline was caused by the issu
ing of maximum crop estimates; but the
market soon rallied on the small receipts
Friday at interior towns. Cotton on the
spot was without change in prices, but at
times was offered rather more freely. Fri
day the market was fairly active and
steady at 9jc for middling uplands.

Government will carry them out. To

[Special.]—A slick citizen who dresses

robbing passengers as they leave trains at
the Union depot, failed at his little game
this morning and came near being caught,
He boarded a Louisville and Nashville
train in the yard and as the passengers
were crowding out of the car in the depot
he picked the pockets of a Dutchman
named Stuvysant Tillerman of $100, and
fled. The Dutchman gave-the alarm and
pursued. The thief was so closeiy pressed
that he threw the pocket book away and
fled. The money was recovered. In three

GEORGIA BOY PARDONED.
Governor Jones has pardoned Clarence
Rucker, an Atlanta boy of good family
who ran away from home several months
ago and was convicted of grand larceny
here and given thirteen months in the
penitentiary. Many prominent citizens of
Atlanta and SenaBws Colquitt and Gor
don signed the petition for the pardon.
Rucker was released from Pratt mines to
day and will return home a wiser if not
better boy.
ROBBED AND MURDERED.
At Bessemer last night a white man
named James Russell was robbed and
murdered and his partner, William Bru-
men, was, perhaps, fatally hurt. The men
had been at work building the new pipe
manufactory, half a mile from the town,
and camped in a tent near by at night.
Saturday they were paid off and it is
known they bad about $100. The sur
viving man says he was awakened
during the night by the screams
of his partner and on arising saw
a negro beating the man’s brains out.
He started to run and was himself felled to
the ground by the murderous club. He
was then robbed and left for dead, but
partially recovered and crawled to the
nearest house and told his story. The
negro, who has been identified as Sam
Arnold, fled. One of the men was killed,
the other fatally hurt and both robbed.
If caught, Arnold will be lynched.
MURDEROUS NEGRO.
A posse of officers got in pursuit of
Henry Williams, the negro who shot Po
liceman Huffman yesterday afternoon.
Deputy Walter Whitehead approached
Williams and commanded him to surren
der, when the black rascal opened fire on
the officer, wounding him in the hind, and
fled.
ASSAULTED AND ROBBED.
J. D. Winter, a white man, got off the
K. C. M. & B. train at Ensley last night
and before he had gone far was set upon
and robbed by three white men and beaten
half to death. The robbers got $53 and
left Winter for dead. He was found some
time afterwards, bleeding and unconscious,
and taken home. It is feared he will die!
