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. Macon Graphic “Colquitt’s-liead: quarters-on-the-cars! He’s no-body’s boss!” vociferously shouts the ear wig-editor-of-the-paragoric columns.

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. Lumpkin Independent. Young and middle-aged men, suf fering from nervous debility and kindred affections, as loss of memory and hypochondria, should inclose three stamps for Part VII of World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Buf falo, N. Y. 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.— Philadelphia Record. AIN’NOCNCEMEINT. FORTTHE LEGISLATURE. I am a candidate to represent Sumter county in the Legislature.
