Felton electioneers on bur day. Rut give him even this advantage and he won’t beat L-ster. Me SrirusN., who has been loudly praised by the independents recently, says that Colonel Billope is the man the people of the math district should support. They are pretty sure to fol low Mr. Stephens’s advice. The Phonograph, the greenback or- gtn here, says it ia a settled fac. that Judge Denial Pittman will be nomina ted for congreta by the greenback con ven’inn which araemolea in Oiiffin on the 10 h So we had aunpceed. But wby Judge Pittman should willingly put himself op to be slaughtered iit this fashion ia a mystery to us. lie knows, and those that co-operate with him know, that there can be no green back party in Georgia outside of the democracy. That organization pledged to carry out all the sane finan cial legislation content plated by the theori-s of the roll money men, and any attempt to form a new party will have merely the scope and culmination of a broadly ridicnlooa farce. No one knows this better than Judge Pitt man and we are therefore a little surprised to see him countenancing a scheme that at the very beat can only divide, and weaken, and cripple the demr cratic party. It is only the inde pendent movement under a new name, and wearing a very thin disguise. As a matter of course, Judge Pupnan has the right to be a financial extremist, and he has the r gbt to test the popu larity of his fiat 1-diaries, but it is a lit tle surprieii g that he cannot foresee the result. His movement will cause but a very slight ripple upon the surface of politics in the Ilf ;h distric*, but we pre sume it will afford acme amuatment to the boys. A oanTtaitaM who has travelled over mr nyoi i he counties of the ninth die inct ia of the opinion that Hpeer wilt be badly beaten. The prospects are that he will not even get a majority of the voters In Gainesville, which has been considered his stronghold. Oi a esteemed contemporary of the Augu da Chronicle ventures to suggest t iat General Toombs, in hia recent in terview with a Coieirrmno* reporter, spoke only of blmaeil. Our esteemed contemporary baa not gone astray in this. It was the underatatdingof the reporter that General Toombs talked for himself, and this opinion was baaed upon a tolerably intimateacquaintance with General Toombs’s methods of thought and conversation. CiTizas .-ruts m promising the voters of the ninth district that if he is elvc'- e.1 to congress be will remove the irx on liquor. For all practical purporn , Cirsan Bpei r might as we I pledge him self to repeal the fourteenth and fif teenth amendment*. He canaccomplish one as easily as be can accomplish the other. The beat that can be done ia to attempt to reduce the onerous aiul un just tax on whisky, and that Colonel UiUn|e will do. a scnjtnvom as.\ ovscasks t. Alluding to Jnage Lester's appoint meat at Canton, and to the absurd rumors that Dr. Felion would probably be present, tbe Cherokee Georgian an nouncea in darning capital, that Dr. Felton will not ba present. Tuis partakes largely ul the humorous. It is not to be supposed by any sane per son that,after persistently avoiding Ihe democratic candidate thna far in Ilia campaign, Dr. Felton i, likely to put himself in the way of Ihe intellectual sconrgii ga that he rereived at Garters- vil e an’d Dalton. Dr. Felton’s organs nerd not lake tbe trouble to announce that tbeir man will not meet Judge Leater in debate. The tret is well and widely known,and needa no announce ment from either aide. Dr. Felton ia shrewd enough to perceive that if he canvasses tbe district with Judge Li ter, and allows the latter to show his superiority upon ihe stump, it will re- solt in ihe overwhelming defeat of the independent movement. It will beds, lasted as ft is, bnt not aa decisively a* if Dr. Felton had met Judge Lester iu fair and rpen discussion. 11 OX. SJXOLATOX e. IIUWSLt. We regret to chronicle tbe fret that lion. Singleton G. Howell, a brother ol Judge CUik Howell, died near Duluth, in Gwinnett county, yesterday morn ing. He was first attacked with irflem ■nation of the bowels, but the di -east assumed a typhoid form and unfertu nately proved fatal. Judge Howell war a pit minent man and a citizen ol great it do new. He was born in Gwinnett Ci unty on the 12th of June, 1823, and was the youngnl son i f Emu Howell who was one of the ploa or settlers of Gwinnett. For a time, Judge Howe 1 waaacitisen of Atlanta, and was chow j judge of the superior court of DvKa'b before the county of Fulion was made He was a man of firm con' victiuns and nnyielding pun pose, and always took a deep interest in politics. 11s was never an office seeker, however, bnt lent bis time and bis energies to the promotion of the principles he believed to be correct. Oo the day that be was fifty-two years oil, he waa elected a member of the constitutional c invention, where hie etrorg common sense aud earnestness gave him large it finance. Judge How ell will be buried at the family burial grom d to day at three o’clock p. m. rojfjf r mob a. It is 1 intrd th*t T. P. Robb will be c-utdidata for congress in the third Illi nois district.

We find the following reproduced in the Ai gusto Chronicle.

The editor of the Reporter iaone of the moat conscientious writers on the press, and we know that when he penned the foregoing he waa folly impressed with the belief that he wss fairly represent ing the campaign in the seventh dis trict. Bat he wss mistaken. He does in justice to tbe democratic press of the district. He wrote the paragraph, probably, alter reading tbe healed arti- lee In une or the other of tbe Felton organs. If a single democratic paper in the d.dtrict liai departed irom the dignity that nboold cbaric'eris < politi cal dneussions, we do not now recall the fact to mind, and wo can assert, wit) ont fear of contradiction, that not once baa Dr. Felton been personally mlted or his character assailed. Ah the attacks have come from the other aide. The li dependent organs, taking tbeir cne lrom Dr. Felton’s teriffic assault upon Judge Lester, ai Oerteraville, have mads ihe campaign exiremety personal. Indeed, Irom tbe b -ginning it bss been n campaign of abase, hut if any democratic editor, in tha district or ont of it. baa retorted in kind we do not now reinembrrit. They have par-ned a manly, digo. fit d Connie, and while they hove had exasperating provocation to throw mod, we are glad to say they have not indulged in the unpleasant pastime. Nor has Dr. Fel ton personally received anything bnt kindness at tbe bends ol tbs demo cratic pipers. Not one of them bss shaded to him as n liar, a scoundrel r a swindler, as tbe R-porter inti mates. Perfect justice has been ecvnrd- bim. He is koown have prrmpted one or two grossly personal attacks upon Tnx Constitution, but we hare dealt wun him aa courteously anfi aa fairly sa justice eeemed to demand, and wr shall continue to do so to the end. Daring the p ist week, the papers that support Dr Felton have toned down considerably, and the probability is thai by tbs rime Judge Lester ie elected to congress they will be able to announce the fact with equanimity if not satis faction. But Mr. Waterman ia mis taken when ha accuses tbe democratic papers of abating tbs independent candidate. in motion sgzin. This went on until OT8r $1.300,000,000 of absolute money WM pot io circulation. What were the effects ? The assignats went down and d wo until they were only worth the thousandth pert of their nominal vain*. Ling before the end wrs reached bankruptcy nod bread riots be- cune the chief events of the day. Hackney coachmen increased tbeir tare- until they charged six thou sand lines; bread was said at ft 50 a pound. In 1736, the assign ats became valueless, and mandates were issued, exchangeable directly for land, at tbs will of the holders, on de mand. In n few months the mandates were as valueless as the s-signata, and ontho 16th of July,. 1797, the whole system was demolished with a blow. This ended the first and last trial in the civilised world ol fist money—of n enr- reocy issued regardless of the wants of trade. These assignats were legal-tenders of the strongest kind. They were fisrs with the. penitentiary in the beck- ground. On tbe 11th ol April, 1793. the convention d<creed six yean’ im prisonment in chains to any one who bought or sold assignats for any earn in specie different from their nominal value, or made am differerce between r money price and a paper price in payment of goods. This penalty wss afterwards increusd to twenty years. The penalty of withholding from circu lation “articles oi first necessity” was death. Then again the French as signats were based on immense reizures of landed property—property that bad been worth til that the assignats cal ltd for. The security was ample, and it there bed been no Isane beyond the wants of trade, there would have been no depreciation in the purchasing pow er of tbe currency—at least, not until afieifthe fail of R ibesplerre. The proposed American fiat money would lack both tbe pan cities attached to Ihe French money and its abundant security. U the French schema should have been originated in n lunatic aay- Inm, as the world now generally holds, where for goodness’ sake should Chi sm Pittman’s scheme have been origi nal d? For he proposes to issue three times aa much money ns the require ments of business demand, with uo se curity l»ck of it except the declaration of tbe government,and with none of the teirible fiat that n reign of terror made possible in tbe rase ot the assignats? Ol the two prt jecta, the F each wus clt< • getber the saner and tits more promis ing. If Citizen Pittman will take down his volume ol Anson and read there from the history of French fiatism, he will, we are sore, take hack all be his ever said in favor of fiat money in America. CBEKBIXO SAWS FROM TASXKS8BK ed A XOBLK tXAMTLS. We note in the talegre p .ic dispatches that among the physicians who have bravely gems to the relief of scourge a'rickao Grenada, is Dr. W. D Mande villa, of New Orisons. T .is young physician is one ol the most prominent of the rising men in the medical pro fession of tbe sooth. From his boy. hood he has felt s genuine enthusiasm in the labors of his profession nod In m the day of hia graduation be bos worked with a teal equally as philan thropic aa it has been professional and ambitions: The mention of hir name will recall to man; upon the aonthern coast of Georgia the noble end wholly disinterest#! serv'cea oi Dr. Mandeville, in . 1876, when tut came as n volontwr to stay the ravages ol tbe yellow fever scourge then desolating our serboard. He was prompt, devoted and skillful, and Georgians cannot forget the invdnable aaryicas which he eo bravely and freely give to their sick sad sorrowing. Io Vita new example ol hie courage and adherence io the a lie ot bomsnity bt has won s claim to the esteem and ap plause ot ail good nr d charitable men. While sneb ycuug heroes are bbortrg in the stricken districts, how much more should the charitable in strong holds ol safety like Atlanta respond in money and measures ot relic! to tht •giti'x ug appeals of the r dta'ressed fellow-men. The Tennessee democrats, alter a sti oggle that promised at one time tc be bitter, have finally nominated a can didate for governor. The prospective chief magistrate is Chancellor Albert ii. Marks, of Franklin connty, wbo is one of tbe parent end best men in tbe state. While be refttsed to be a candidate and preferred hie judicial position to guber natorial honors, yet be was chosen aa tbe one man upon whom all the elements of the very diversi fied democracy of the elate might coccenlrete. His eh c.ton is sure and the futnre ol Tennessee will lose nothing in prosperity during the lime hat Judge Marks serves in the chief inagietry. Tbe disturbing element in Tt nneesce politics has been, for many iuo\ths,the ant ject of tbe state debt and tbe proper method ol dsslipg with it. High and low taxes have been ths slogans of tbe two wings of the democracy and upon the question of wh:cu policy should prevail the party has been upon the brink of serious, if not fetal, division. The position of Judge Marks is not well defined upon these questions, bnt his position as n tine and tried demo crat is beyond qnostior.; his position as an hontst sud patriotic citizen is equally beyond question, and these tilings bring true, it is well assured in advance that any honest financial policy adopted by the legislature of the state will meet his hearty endorsement. Judge Harks is a gentleman ot fine personal qualities, admirable attainments and large experience in public affairs Ilia name is deservedly honored in Tenneasec and we feel no doabt ot bis election by s majority cf ths moat flat tering proportions. . The pis' form cf the Tennessee de mocracy, already published in thin columns, was the production of Jn!»a Marts’ pen and in every way solid sr d admirable.

Atlanta and npper Georgia are safe in any event F^ver esses may be brought to os; a doz:>n at least were brought here from Savannah in 1876; hot propagation in onr air is doubtless im possible, even in this exceptional sea son. An ounce o! prevention ie, how* ever, cot to be undervalued anywhere. Tae city should be made aa clean as poas-ble. Every lot should be inspect ed and the heaviest penalties of the law inflicted upon those who jeopard the lives ol their fellow-beings. Every gutter should be e’eaned and disinfect ed. Every noxious amejl should be abated. Great care should also be taken that the random cases which may be brought to the city should be isolated, while they are well cared for. Atlanta need not, should not,quarantine against any city under the sun In the com prehensiveness of her welcome to all eofferers, she relies upon the advanta ges that nature has given her; bnt those advantages should*.ot be impair ed in this hot weather by sanitary abuses.

In the in pics a greater ele vation is, of couree, needf d to seen re exemption than in the temperate sone.
