WE DNES D A YjOC TO BE R, 4TII,
is the day for the election of Governor,
State House officers, Senators and Rep
resentatives. Remember the day.
The Lumpkin Independent says:
There is no enthusiasm in Stewart
county over the candidacy of Judge D.
B. Harrell.
If a man fails to vote for Mr. Stop -
ens for Governor it is just giving that
much aid and comfort to the radical or
coalition party.
Remember that the election comes off
on Wednesday the 4th day ot October.
Mr. Stephens' majority for Gover
nor, will not be under 30.000; and we
think it will be nearer forty than thirty
thousand. Put a sharp peg down by
these figures.
The State election will be held on
Wednesday next, the 4th day of Octo
ber EVERY Democrat should take
special delight in being on hand
promptly and early in the morning of
that day.
It will soon be time to commence
planting oats, and the sensible farmer
will not be stingy with land or seed.
With plenty of oats and the corn
already made, the Georgia farmer will
be well fixed for another year.
From the news that continue to reach
us of the bountiful harvests garnered
all over the world, thisj year will be a
memorable one for the richness of its
yields. If food is not cheap it will be
because of those who gamble in produce
as others do in money. Even now the
prices paid are incredible when we con
sider the supply.
The independent or coalition party
in Georgia, to say the least of it, is a
twin brother to republicanism and they
cannot disguise the fact, “He that is
not for us is against us,” and he that
is not a Democrat is against Democracy
no matter what he calls himself.

The Democratic nominees for Con
gress in Georgia have thus far declined
to meet, their independent opponents in
j out discussions. VV<> trust lhat Judge
Grieg will follow this good example
and let Judge Harrell gather his own
audience. —Lumpkin Independent.
A Trip to Schley.
On Monday last in company with
Judge J. A. Ansley, we had a most
pleasant trip to Ellaville, to ho in at
tendance upon Schley county Superior
Court. Our newly appointed Judge,
J. A. Ansley, who is admirably fitted
for the high position, and who by a
long service as a lawyer, is peculiarly
fitted for a seat on the bench of the
Superior Court, adjourned the court to
the fifth Monday in October, on account
of the absence of many lawyers iu At
lanta attending the Supreme Court.
This adjournment gives general satis
faction. especially to our farming
friends who are now very busy in the
field, as a petition numerously signed
would have been presented lor an ad •
journment, had not the Judge at first
determined to e.djourn the court.
While in Ellaville, we were the recip
ient of many kindnesses from our
friends, which we appreciate very much.
We took dinner at the hotel kept by
Mr. W.J J. Scovill, and it was a feast
indeed of good tilings, which we enjoy
ed very much. We arrived home on
the afternoon of the same day, pleas
antly entertained on the route by him
who is now “our Judge.” The month
of October will be a busy one so far as
it regards our courts, as many of them
will be held that month, and the senior
expects to he on hand at all of them to
pleasantly interviw his many friends.
Very Funny Indeed.
The following paragraph we clip
from the Macon Telegraph and Mes
senger, of Tuesday.
It is profitless to us and would be
uninteresting to our readers to attempt
to discover whether the editoriat flings
of the Sumter Refulican, directed at
our Americus correspondent are really
intended for the correspondent or this
journal. Suffice it for our readers of
that section to be assured that we re
gard our correspondent as far more re
liable than the Republican. The news
editor of our staff’ lias seme time since
been instructed to keep his scissors
and pencil clear of the Republican.
Well, this is refreshing?—but it is
now our time to be “tickled” with the
“venom” of the‘ L editor of the Macon
Telegraph and Messenger. It is in
deed amusing for him to bring our re
liability into question. As to keeping
“his scissors and pencil clear of the
Republican,” we are truly glad to note
his words to that effect—but we have
noticed in some of his papers of a receut
date extracts from our paper—how is
that for “high”—may be the articles
were so good that he could not refrain
from scissoring them. , But vve don’t
handle the same ladle in eating the
soup that the editor of the Macon Tel
'‘(/vanh and Messe.naer docs. We, the
editor of this paper, with other citizens
of Americus, care very little whether
the Macon Telegraph and Messenger
copies from this paper or not. The Re
publican has rolled for thirty years and
will continue to roll for thirty years
more without any aid of the Telegraph
and Messenger. Editor Latnar seems
to be mad with everybody and we pre
scribe for him a full dose of Stephens
Jeffersonian Democracy.
In the language of Gov. A. 11. Col
quitt, “Lamar hates for the sullen love
of hate, and slanders for the love of
slander.”
Application for Local Legislation.
In another column will be found the
Act prescribing the manner of giving
notice of an intention to apply to the
Legislature for the passage of local
and special bills. It will be seen from
this Act that applications for local leg
islation published in any other paper
except in that in which the Sheriff
sales of the county are advertised, will
not bo legal We publish this Act
for the benefit of all parties concerned,
who will take due notice and govern
themselves accordingly.
An editorial paragraph in Thursday’s
issue, referring to a rumor in relation to
the speech of Governor Colquitt, at
Americus, was written before the recep
tion of the letter of our regular corres
pondent, giving the facts.— Macon
Telegraph and Messenger.
We publish the above injustice to
“W. P. B.” the Americus correspon
dent of the 7 elegraph. Why then didn’t
the editor takeout the editorial paia
graph on the reception of the letter of its
correspondent, for both appeared in the
same issue of the paper.
Judge Crisp’s letter of acceptance
may be found oil the first page of this
issue. It is a sensible and readable
letter, full of sound democratic doc
trine and buisiness principles. Read
it and let every Democrat go to work
to elect its author to Congress. To
have Judge David B. Harrell, the in
dependent coalitionist, sent there by
the republican party machine would
be calamitous.— Lumpkin Indepen
dent.
Macon Graphic: The ear-wig edi
tor of the paragoric columns lias a
good deal to say about Governor Col-'
qnitt’s headquarters-on-thc-cars. That
is true; the governor travels a good
many journeys, but when lie goes into
bivonac like he did down at Americus,
nd opens up his vocabulary, it makes
us feel sorry for the Suwarrow’s and
Garabaldi’s on the ’toher picket line.
Jutlgc Ansley Succeeds Judge
Crisp, wlie Resigns in the
Southwestern Circuit.
Atlanta Constitution.
It has been expected for several days
that Judge C. F. Crisp, of Americus,
would resign liis position as judge of
the Southwestern circuit, to enter ac
tively on the campaign for congress in
tho thiid district. Yesterday Govern
or Colquit received the following letter
from Judge Crisp:
Americus Ga., September 20, —My
Dear Sir. Permit me to tender you
my resignation as judge of the superior
court of the southwestern circuit, and
to request your immediate acceptance
thereof. I was originally appointed to
this office by you, and have since been
twice elected thereto by the general as
sembly. Allow me to return to you,
and, through you, to the representative
of the people, my thanks for the trust
and confidence thus reposed in me, and
express my high appreciation thereof.
With assurance of esteem, 1 am,
Very truly your friend,
Charles F. Crisp.
Hon. Alfred H. Colquitt, Governor
State of Georgia, Atlanta, Ga.
governor colquitt’s reply.
Atlanta, Ga., September 22.—Hon.
Charles F. Crisp, Americus, Ga.—
Dear Sir. I have received your letter
of the 20th instant, in which you ten
der your resignation of the office of
judge of the superior court of the South
western circuit, and repuest my imme
diate acceptance of the same.
Tliis request I must, of course, re
gard as imperative, and your instruc
tions are accordingly carried out.
I cannot, however, allow the occa
sion to pass without expressing the
gratification I experience, both as an
officer of the state government and as a
friend, upon a review of yonr incum
bency in a high judicial position,, and
of tendering to you my congratulations
at the degree of appreciation that the
public, whom you have served so well
entertain of your administration.
Wishing you the same, and even a
more abundant success in all subse
quent positions of honor and trust to
which you may be called, I am, yours
very truly, Alfred H. Colquitt.
The Governor has appointed J. A.
Ansley, of Americus, to fill the vacan
cy thus occasioned. The new judge is
about forty-five years old, a lawyer of
good ability, and has been prominent
at the bar of the circuit. He will en
ter at once upon the discharge of his
duties, but will not, we learn, be a
candidate for election before the legisla
ture.
No stronger indictment of the Repub
lican party could be framed than simply
to name tbe men who aro its “honored
leaders.” For instance, when Robeson
was introduced to the Congressional
Convention at. Camden, lie was spoken
of as “the man who, in the House of
Itcpvoe/in + f,l I,rr.Q in YVawliinirlmv. WAS
the voice of the republican party.” In
Maine the notorious Blaine carries the
party in his breeches pocket. In Del
aware, Dick Harrington, the safe Bur
glar, commands the republican forces.
In Ohio the stupid and corrupt Keifer
is commander-in-Chief of the office
holders brigade. In New York, wood
pnlp Miller, of River and Harbor steal
notoriety lias forced the better man of
his party to the rear. And so on, in
every State, men of ill repute are in
command of the “God and morality”
party. Will the people accept their
leadership?
Old Mr. Christiancy has at last
secured a divorce from his young wife
on the ground of desertion, and it is to
be hoped that this is the last of the
scandal. Scheming mothers who strive
to find husbands of wealth and position
for their daughters regardless of any
considerations of love and affection,can
learn a valuable lesson from this cause
celebre. Gray headed old fools, with
one foot in the grave and who think
they are in love with girls young enough
to be their daughters, might take warn
ing from Mr. Ghristiancy’s misfortunes
but it is not at all probable they will.
Mahone returned to Washington a
few Hays ago and shook up the Depart
ments. A correspondent states that in
the Interior Department six women
were discharged, and a messenger and
watchman were discharged from (lie
Post Office Department. In their places
a number of men were appointed and
out of the list two-thirds were negroes.
Brigadiers Bill Mahone and Bun Chalm
ers seem to be running the grand old
party.
Judge D. B. Harrell professes to be
able single handed arid alone, to accom
plish needed tariff reforms, and estab
lish great public enterprises, the mag
nitude of which and the opposition to
which have heretofore resisted the com
bined effort of the score of Democratic
statesmen in and out of Congress. Judge
Harrell would distinguish himself in
Congress in about the same way that
all the other Independents have done.
They have been distinguished princi
pally by the avidity with which they
rush into the ranks of the republican
party and exchange their votes for rec
ognition and a little public patronage.

Notice of Application for Local
Legislation.
An Act to prescribe the manner of
giving notice of an intention to
apply to the Legislature for the
passage of local and special bills.
(Section I. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of Ihe State of
Georgia, That the notice of an inten
tion to apply for the passage of a lo
cal or special bill shall be given in the
following manner, to wit: the title of
the bill shall be published once in the
newspaper in which the Sheriff’s sales
are advertised, and shall be posted at
the door of the court-house in the
county or counties of the residence of
the person or persons, natural or artifi
cial, to be effected thereby, or in which
the locality or municipality is situated,
thirty days before the introduction of
such bill in the House of Represen
tatives: Provided, that where there is
no newspaper published in the county
where local legislation is asked, that
notice of said bill shall be published
in the paper where Sheriff’s sales are
published, and in all notices to be pub
lished under this Act, it shall not be
lawful for any newspaper to charge
more than one dollar per square for
said notice, and in case of refusal to
publish at said rates, then a publica
tion in any other newspaper having a
circulation in the county where the lo
cal legislation - is desired, shall be suffi
cient.
Sec. 11. Be it further enacted by
the authority aforesaid That the
production of the newspaper dated
thirty days prior to the introduction of
such bill into the General Assembly,
containing the notice required by this
Act, with the certificate of the Ordina
ry that the notice has been posted,
shall be sufficient evidence that such
notice has been given in accordance
with the requirements of the Constitu
tion.
Sec. 111. Be it further enacted by
the authority aforesaid. That all
laws and parts of laws militating
against this Act be, and the same are
hereby, repealed.
Approved December 3, 1878.
A correspondent, writing to the New
Orleans Time-Democrat, from Dallas,
Texas, says; -“I happened to bo at a
meeting the other afternoon of promi
nent men who have undertaken to raise
money for a cotton factory iu Dallas.
Among them was a Briton, who got up
and said he was raised in a cotton mill,
and had all his means locked up in a
Manchester mill. “Gentlemen,” he
said, “cotton factories are no longer
paying institutions in England. The
reason of this is they cannot compete
with this country. We cannot pay
freight on the raw material for three
and four thousand miles and make
goods as cheap as you do, and I predict
it will not be twenty years before the
mills of New England will be in tho
same predicament with reference to the
South. They are in that fix now, only
yon fail to make enough to supply ilie
markets. The lives of Old and New
England mills are limited to the devel
opment of cotton mills iu the Southern
States. This is inevitable. This is
fate. This is a revolution which will
take place during the present genera
tion.”
There is a possibility of the United
States troops being called upon this
winter to fight the Cree Indians, whose
territory extends to the border line be
tween British America and Montana.
Though under British dominion, they
seem to be poorly provided for by their
own Government, and to keep from
starving are continually trespassing
upon the reservation of the American
Indians in the neighborhood of the Milk
River Agency, in order to kill buffalo.
The American Indians are constantly
complaining and calling upon the
United States troops to protect them.
The troops have repeatedly driven the
Crees off the reservation,but their scant
supply of food causes them to return
again. It is feared that their condition
when winter sets in, will be so desper
ate that, unless the Canadian Govern
ment does something for them, they
will fight our troops and be shot down
rather than starve.
The Nashville American referring
to the tariff commission says: The
southern people have not yet at all
grasped the meaning of the fact that
too much money is (lowing towards
Washington. At the present stage of
energetic life at the 6outh if but the
simple weight of overtaxation, beyond
the legitimate needs ofthe government,
were raised, the whole southern section
would rebound like a rubber-ball. It
is time, therefore, that the southern
people were making a closer study of
this all important subject, to the end
that they may suggest and enforce in
telligent means by which their interests
may be considered. It is this sentiment
especially that should be embodied in
the report this commission will make
U P- ' _
It is estimated that by the strikes of
tho present year the laborers have lost
fully $0,000,000 tho employers $lO,-
000,000, and the general public not less
than $25,000,000. This is a conserva
tive estimate. More than half of the
great loss to the people at large was
caused by tho freight handlers’ strike
in New York, and one-sixth ofthe loss
to the laborers was caused by the same
strike, and jet protection is supposed
to protect labor first, last and always,
and therefore to be a preventive of
strikes.
A DESERVED TRIBUTE.
Some anonymous writer, whom the
Atlanta Post-Appeal recognizes as
Col. James M. Smythe, of Augusta,
pays the following high, but just tri
bute to tho Don. Alexander H. Steph
ens:
But now, iu conclusion, we turn
briefly to Mr. Stephens, not to present
a eulogy upon his life, services and
character, but to defend him against
tbe unjust and perhaps the malignant
criticisms of his political opponents,
professedly in the Democratic ranks.
Long years ago the writer saw daily in
our State University at classic Athens,
a pale and feeble looking youth, who
mingled but little in those athletic re
creations so common with the voung
gentlemen in their collegiate life. If
this is the golden age of egotism, as
some writer expresses it the writer
could .see nothing of it in the youth re
ferred to, and though there Avas some
thing striking in the dark lustrous
eyes, his aspirations wore concealed
from the most critical review. No one
thought of, or anticipated then, though
the youth’s talents were clearly seen
and recognized, that he longed reacli
that diddy height where “fame’s proud
temple stood afar.” That which had
made some drunk, had made him bold,
and year after year at the bar and on
the hnstings, he rose by degrees under
the mysterious operations of mind and
memory, awaiting the uprising of that
master thought that made him the ad
miration of people. At each step he
was crowned with unfading laurels and
the confidence of the people. Ever true
to principle, confidence was never be
trayed, and for forty years or move,
we may draw up the veiP, look back
upon the stage of his life and see bis
soul enshrined in duty, and however
agitated by passion, never stained by
treachery to the vast and important
trusts confided to his care. That youth
and that glorious man was Alexander
H. Stephens.
s§ln the days of our bright tranquility
his transcendent abilities were exerted
to add to its prosperity, its fame and
its true glory; and the dark hours of
its trouble, afflicted with physical ills,
he has given us, he has given the whole
country, a work, his ‘War Between
the States” to save-as many of the
principles of the Fathers as his untir
ing exertions could redeem from the
usurpations of the triumphant Repub
lican party. It would be difficult to
place an estimate upon the value of
that work. It alone would make him
immortal,
One of Fashion's Fools.
The present style of wearing tight
sleeves, besides being prejudicial to the
health of the foolish females who in
dulge in them, came near resulting fa
tally to a damsel residing on Franklin
street, above Race. This young wo
man, who is considered a model among
her sex, saw tit to have her sleeves
made particularly tight, and one day
recently, when she attempted to remove
her waist, the button that adorns tbe
cuff became so tightly wedged between
the goods and a blood vessel that it
stopped the circulation and she fainted
before it could be removed Her fall
brought assistance, and the sleeves had
to be cut before it could be removad,
thus spoiling an elegant costume. A
physician who was called in congratu
lated her on her fortunate escape.—
