Looking through its own old-fashioned
time-honored, storm-tried and well-
proven Democratic glasses The Son is
able to see enough to attribute tho re
suit of the elections in Ohio and Penn

unnecessary question of the “New De*

party, at a most inopportune time, and
supported by the Memphis Avalanhce and

A car load of convicts passed through
the city yesterday. They were being
carried from the Cherokee Railroad to
the Air Line.
An old gentleman, named Wootten,
who lived near the Rolling Mill, was run
over and crushed to death by the return
ing train from the Fair Grounds, yester
day afternoon. Observing the train ap
proaching him, he stepped over, as he
thought, to the cleared track, but, by
miscalculation, he encountered the danger
he sought to escape. Failing eyesight
probably prevented him from perceiving
the approaching engine.
About 5 o’clock yesterday evening two
‘boys in blue” had a regular set-to fist
fight. One was knocked down, and con

arrive in time to arrest either.
Governor Bullock has not made a sin
gle move upon the board (openly) since
he returned. He seems to be as quiet as

About a dozen men in Jackson county
were lately arrested, charged with Ku
Klnxism, and brought here. The Grand
Jury of the United States Court ignored
the charges, and they have gone home.
The Jury found true bills against the
following named persons, residing in
Gwinnett county: Bonaparte Allen, Asa
McMillan, Mathew Brown, Willis Brown,
Melvin Kennedy, and Allen J. Wages.
These men are out on bail.
Two men from Walton county, named
respectively Fulker and Rich, are in jail,
awaiting the action of the Grand Jury.
Mrs. Rusk, a widow lady of Cherokee
county, residing near Brush Mountain
has a goose known to be over thirty-seven
years old. It was presented to her by
her mother-in-law soon after the mar
riage of herself with her husband, now
deceased, and has been in her possession
ever since. She is becoming gray, like
a gander—her dark colored feathers be
ing nearly white. She is healthy and in
good condition, apparently as much so
as any of the flock with which she goes.
She still lays eggs, but for the last few
years they will not hatch.
Remann, of Goodyear A Co., put the
beer on both ladies and gentlemen yes

the city. The beer was delightful, and
drew a large audience. Miles Turpin

Hartford, October 17.—The North
American Insurance Company has been

miliating to all Americans.
New Orleans, October 17.—Governor
Warmothwrite3 to the Parish judges that
he is convinced that the Louisiana Levee

tion of the public, by preparing for the
fall andspring ri$e, and it now rests with
the Parish authorities to take measures
to protect themselves.
Montgomery. October 17.—The Ku-
Klux Committee, recently In session at
Huntsville, is here. It goes hence to De-

The Hei'ald special from Gloucester
says the schooner Horton was taken from
Guysboro harbor, Nova Scotia by a party
of men from Gloucester. The Horton is
now due at Gloucester. It it is stated
that a British gunboat has been sent in
pursuit of the schooner with the inten
tion of recapturing her. An American
gunboat has gone to prevent her recap
ture in American waters. The affair, it
is believed, will be of great gravity.
Seventy Insurance Companies have
suspended.
One thousand United States troops
were in the raid on the Brooklyn
still. The property seized is valued at
from $50,000 to $75,000.
Memphis, October 17.—Captain Hous
ton, of the steamboat Hester, sues Gen
eral Forrest and others in the Federal
Court for arms destroyed some years ago

ney General has a dispatch from North
Mississippi stating that five Ku-Klux,
with their disguises complete, have been
captured.

The following was received to-day:
Chicago, October 17.
Hon. G. P. Boutwell, Secretary of the
Treasury: Three banks saved; are paying
every dollar on demand. A good feeling
prevails.
(Signed,) H. R. Hurlbut,
Comptroller of Currency.
The cotton returns of October are no
more favorable than those of the pre
ceding months. In no State is tho aver
age of September fully sustained. The
general average of condition in the first
week of the present month is 76 per cent,
against 80 per cent, in September. In
some sections in the Mississippi valley
and in Texas, improved prospects are re
ported, while the-appearance of testi
mony in the Southwest, as well as on the
Atlantic coast, favors a further reduction
of the expected yield. The percentage
of condition in the several States is as
follows: North Carolina, 80; South Caro
lina, 75; Georgia, 72; Florida. 73; Ala
bama, 75; Mississippi, 76; Louisiana, 73;
Texas, 72; Arkansas, 82; Tennessee, 94.
The injuries reported are from rust,
shedding of bolls prematurely; sufficient
low temperature to check the develop
ment of bolls in more Northern latitudes;
floods and inundations in Florida and
Georgia; sprouting or rotting of bolls
from rains and drought in the section
west of Georgia, and the boll and army
worms in portions of the Mississippi and
the Northwestern States.
It does not appear that the losses from
insects are general or very serious.
With a few isolated exceptions, drought
should be credited with a larger propor
tion of the depreciation, than any other
assigned cause, notwithstanding the fact
cotton endures lack of moisture better
than other crops. Present indications do
not point to a crop of more than three
million bales, and if the remaining sea
son should be unfavorable for the de
velopment and gathering of the fibre,
smaller result must be accepted.
Judge Chose is presiding at the Su
preme Court, which commenced a special
term yesterday.
Gen. Balloeli, paymaster of the Freed-
meu’s Bureau, has been suspended for
irregularities. His arrest has been or
dered, but is withheld for explanation.
Rumors of defalcation are rife.
A run is progressing on the Freed-
men’s Bank, growing out of the reported
defalcation of Gen. Balloeli.
A proclamation has been issued which
after many whereases, suspends the writ
of Habeas Corpus in Sp irtanburg, York,
Marion, Chester, Laurens, Newberry,
Fairfield, Lancaster, A Chesterfield coun
ties, of South Carolina. The suspen
sion extends to arrest by the U. S.
Marshal, his deputies, any military offi
cer of the United States, or any soldier
or citizen acting under the order of said
Marshal, deputy, or such military officer
within the said counties, charged with
any violation of the Ku-Klux act of Con
gress, during the continuance of the said
suspension.
Washington, October J.8.— The Secre
tary of War directs commanding officers
to give such aid to the Wisconsin suffer
ers as they deem advisable.
Judge J. J. Martin, Auditor of the
Post Office Department, leaves for Ala
bama, aud will be absent for a month.
There are assurances that there are no
injurious complications in General Bal-
loch’s accounts, and the announcement
that there was a run on the Freedmen’s
Bank is incorrect.
Chicago, October 18.—The number of
inquests held up to date amount to nine
ty-two. Good order continues.
Lumber is selling at old prices. An
attempt at extortion for lumber has igno-
miniously failed.
All the banks are operating. The de
posits exceed the withdrawals. Drafts
on the savings banks are very light.
Many contracts for rebuilding have
been consummated. Some of the con
tracts involve entire blocks.
The Tribune, this morning, in a point
ed leader, deprecates an attempt to take
business below 12th street, in the South
Division, and says there can be no ques
tion about the return of business to the
burnt district.
New York, October 18.—The Colum
bia triumphed again over the Lizonia,
by one-fourth of a mile.
The failure of the Atlantic Fire Insur
ance Company, of Brooklyn, is announc
ed here.
The Chicago losses are far greater than
was supposed.
The value of the property seized by
the Revenue officers, at Brooklyn yester
day, supported by 1,000 Federal soldiers,
is only $11,000.
Charleston, October 18.—One death
from yellow fever has been reported in
the last twenty-four hours.

tains the right to lease the United Com
panies of New Jersey.

perado, killed a man named Worth, by
shooting him from an upper room of a

pronunciameuto attempted here on the
first was promptlv suppressed.
Diaz is reported to be on the road be

OGLETHORPE PARK.
The Fair a Grand Success
The Park Crowded with
tors.
For the first time during the progress
of the Fair, the city was crowded, yes
terday, with strangers. Every train that
arrived was filled, and early in the day it
was apparent that there would be a big
crowd at the Park. The day was bright ■ , . . „ ., _ .
and exceedingly pleasant, the streets and [ * ^ Aiyra T
the Park were free from dust; in fact
everything was. most propitious, and
everybody seemed disposed to turn out,
to enjoy themselves and see the Fair.

Mr. Finney also exhibits quite a number
of vehicles manufactured by the Kimball
Brothers, of Boston.
Messrs. McBride A Smith, of this city,
make a superb display of vehicles of their
own manufacture.
Mr. A. B. Landis, ,of Mount Joy, Penn
sylvania, exhibits a magnificent carriage
for one or two horses. It is, perhaps, as
handsome a vehicle as any on the ground.
He also exhibits some buggies. Mr. Lan
dis is hero in person. The factory he
represents was-established in 1824.
In tho second story of Floral Hall we
find, a most interesting show. Here we
have a large amount of vegetables, trees,
fruits, shrubbery, evergreens, and various
other plants for use and ornament.—
There are some fine displays of vegeta
bles, especially yams.
Frank E. Block makes an admirable
show of the productions of his candy
manufactory, in this room. Ho does
himself great credit.
Mr. E. Van Goidtsnoven contributes
largely to the interest of the department.
No one has better taste than he, and in
this instance, he has used it to a good
advantage.
In this room we also find bread, bis
cuit, cake, preserves and canned fruits,
and other home productions, which are
highly creditable.
Last, but by no means least, or least
entertaining, we have the
SEWING MACHINE
men in this room. They are workers.
They evidently are the liveliest set of
people on the ground, never wearying
of answering questions or operating their
machines.
Mr. Miller makes an excellent showing
with the Howe. He has quite a number
of machines out there, which are quite
as handsome as any to he seen; besides
—well, we were going to compliment the
ladies who operate them, but we believe
we won’t. They don’t need it. Their
work speaks for them, and they speak
for the machine; so we think, on the
whole, the Howe can get along and hold
its own.
The Singer, the Wheeler A Wilson,
and the Grover A Baker also make good
shows.
Hill is there, of course, and enthusi
astic over the many good points of the
Florence. What Hill don’t know about
sewing machines is not worth going to
Australia to find out, and if the Florence
does not hold its own well, it will not be
for the want of a skillful and competent
man to handle it. But it is a good ma
chine, or Hill would have nothing, to do
with it.

ARTISTS IN HAIR.
Tho many uses and elegances to which
hair has been applied, is truly wonderful.
Mrs. A. C. Ladd had on exhibition a fam

of the hair of ine various members of
the family, wrought into flowers and im

and execution, is an honor to the talents
of Mrs. Ladd.
Mrs. Agnes Turner,. lately returned
from the North, had an extensive and
exquisite array of hair jewelry and all
kinds of ornamental hair work. She
will establish her business, very soon in’
this city. The most exquisite piece of
art, and indeed the most elaborate arti-*

and costume, but the perfect attitude of
the parties, giving the most accurate out
lines of the very muscles of the Eastern
donkey, but delineating faithfully the
expression, and thereby the .very emo
tions of parent and child on this affecting
occasion of the mother’s sacrifice and the
daughter’s ingenuous love for him to
whom-she said, “wherever thou geest,.,,
willl also; your home shall be my home,
yonr God my God,” Ac. Mrs. Ladd had 1
a number of other specimens, including J :
varieties of needle work, embroidery and
crocheting. -

foot, and is of masterly workmanship. -
A MINIATURE SHIP,
by J. H. Warner, Atlanta, was entered
as the product of the best mechanical
genius.
THE FATRIe’s GROTTO, ■
is what we might term a romantic poem,
petrified or fossilized. It is built of
a thousand variety of shells, collected .
from the coasts of Georgia and Florida,
wrought into Mosaic, and represents a-.-,
showy grotto overarched with festoons of Ji'
shells, and supported by stalagmites of *
the same. It is a curiosity.
htp. CRAYON SKETCHES AND OIL PAINTINGS
by the pupils of Miss E. Sterchi, is quite
an interesting collection of portraits and
scenery. “Moonshine,”-apparently a.
scene in South America, representing the
rising moon amid the depths of the foam
ing spray of a cataract dashing down a
frightful precipice, deserves special men
tion.

comprising all the modern improvements
of the art, were on exhibition by Messrs.
Smith A Motes, and Mr. O. R. Lane, o£.
this city. It was the handsomest collec
tion ever displayed in Georgia. There

representations of. some historical event-

ful genius and child-art.

L. Braumuiler, were meritorious designs-.
CROCHET WORK.
A handsome crochet collar, exhibiteil
by Mrs. C. D’Alviguv, elicited the mo»i

piece of work, being wrought with A r o.
200 cotton thread into numerous designs
of roses, rose-buds and rose-leaves, per
fect in all their parts.

companiment to the day’s revelry, ai*l
