The Result.
This is a grand hour for Georgia, for
it rolls up a majority of fifty or sixty
thousand for A. 11. Stephens as gov
ernor of this honored old commonwealth.
Truly, all races and condition of men
are to he congratulated on this most
auspicious event, for good government,
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness, are now assured to each and every
one of us. The sage of Liberty Hall
is a true type of a ‘beautiful manhood,”
whose life has been politically and so
cially a success. A life w hose sunbeams
rose to gladden the nations, and when
it had reached its zenith it was unpar
alleled in its splendor, and now as his
sun is about setting, its close becomes
even more glorious, lor it beautilully
illustrates a life melting awe.v into a
cloudless sunset. In the diction of
A. 11. Stephens, the harmony and unity
of the Democratic party will he per
petuated, a man of his own head, he
will bring to bear upon his administra
tion the resources of an experience
varied and long, and in his devotion to
the interests of the people, supplemented
by a wise simplicity, llis administra
tion will obtain for * leorgia results
that will he long and enduring for good.
Ah Egyptian Princess.
The above is the title of a charming
book in too volumes handsomely hound
recently from the press, and presented
to u.s by our esteemed friend Prof. 3.
11. Smart of Indiana. He is commis
sioner of the public schools from that
State and was in our city in attendance
at the teachers convention that assem
bled here in August last..
We had the pleasure of entertaining
Prof. Smart and found him to he a gen
tleman of fine culture, a courteous and
genial companion, and a zealous worker
in the good cause lie represented, and
in every way worthy of the high posi
tion lie “occupies. Many thanks, for
the beautiful books,Professor, and may
success crown all your future efforts and
undertakings in tlie work committed to
your fostering care.
The Atlanta Constitution.
The Atlanta Constitution in its pro
gressiveness is growing steadily more
and more into public favor. <>n the
day of publication its patrons in this
city and Southwest Georgia will receive
precisely the same paper, line for line,
that is sent to Atlanta subscribers. The
new fast train of the Central Railroad
will do the work. The Constitution
is the largest paper in the State and
its Sunday’s edition is a superb one.
Its telegraphic news are ahead of any
otlier paper. The correspondence local
and foreign is the fullest, brightest and
most comprehensive of any paper. For
one month you can get this most inter
esting paper for a dollar, for three
months two dollars and fifty cents. We
commend it to all as one of the best
papers in the South. See prospectus
in another column.
Won’t Support Harrell.
It having been reprrted in Scliley
county, and elsewhere, that our old
friend Maj. W. C. I*. Clegliorn, was
going to support Judge D. 11, Harrell,
therefore, in order to disabuse the minds
of all of that false lcport, we quote
from a private letter of tlie Major’s to
the editor of this papei:
Dear Hancock: Ily the by, contra
dict that vile report about my intend
ing to vote for and. b. barrel 1. I was a
Cook man, heart, liver and lights, guts,
gall and pocket-book, hut Charlie Crisp
having received the nomination, I shall

so, lint do my possible to have him elect

The election in this county passed off
very quietly. Owing to the farmers
being busy in their fields, there was
finite a small vote polled, not one half
of the voters of the county turned out
at the election. It will he seen from
the vote below, that old Sumter has

ry May and D. W. Kellet were arrested
here Saturday evening by an agent of
Secret Service division, and 11;> coun

THE PEABODY FUND.
The Mate* tliat Receive tlie Ilenoiits
New York. October 4.—The annual
meeting of the trustees and directors of
the Peabody educational fund was
held to dai’ at noon in Fifth Avenue
Hotel, and is now in progress. Among
those present were ex-President Ruth
erford 15. Hayes, Justice Waite, of the
Fnited States supreme court, Right
Rev. 11. R>. Whipple, of Minnesota,
and Alexandr 11. Stuart of Virginia.
General Agent J. L. M. Curry
made his report, showing that since
(Ictobcr Ist, 1882, $80,334,41 had been
distributed out of the fund. The
state of Tennessee received $12,809,
Texas $17,500, Virginia $3,234, West
Virginia $2,300, South Carolina $5,375
North Carolina so,4Bs,Georgia $8,580,
Mississippi $4,275 Louisiana $5,900,
Florida $3,725, Arkansas $5,075,
Alabama $5,175, Judge Manning
reported that he had presented a claim
apainst the state of Mississippi for
bonds belonging to the Peabody fund
repudiated by that state. In the
judge’s opinion there was no change of
their ultimate payment. With ac
cumulated interests, these bonds would

The meeting then adjourned.
A Member of Congress.
Members of Congress are paid five
thousand dollars a year for their servi
ces. They also receive $125 each for
stationary and papers, which they are
free to take in money and supply
themselves. The committees are abun
dantly supplied with all forms of sta
tionary, and the members help them
selves freely from that stock, and thus
save expense in one item. Their
speeches arc folded and enveloped at
the public expense, and seat free
through the mails. They vote them
selves valuable books, and may sell
them to the trade. They generally
travel free on certain roads of great
corporations, and they are furnished
with telegraphic franks, to say nothing
of other privileges and perquisites, for
which votes are expected in return.
They get baths, they get shaved, they
are perfumed, and their hoots are
blacked at the Capitol without charge.
Republicans get offices and patronage,
and a class of Democrats also find favor
in that way.
The life of a Congressman is easy
and profitable, if he boa professional
politician, for besides all those advan
tages lie has a stake in most of the
special legislation, if he is not regularly
retained by some monopoly or corpora
tion. In the short and long sessions
of a term he averages only ten mouths,
and is paid ten thousand dollars for
two years of supposed service.
There are three hundred and twenty
five members to be elected to the next
House of Representatives, and now is
the time for every Congress district to
demand of the candidates explicit
pledges of faithful attendance at the
daily sessions, and against pairing o;.
any pretext whatever. States and
districts have had no representation at
all on many occasions when questions
deeply interesting to them have been
decided. Aside from these local con
siderations, absenteeism favors pro
fligacy in expenditures, and is the ally
of corruption and jobbery.
A Heniitiful Tribute.
The Atlauta correspondent of the
Savannah News pays the following ap
propriate and touchingly beautiful com
pliment to Georgia’s greatest intellect
and his universally popular and accom
plished wife: “1 am sure that the peo
ple of Georgia will he pained to learn
of rhe failing health of the noble wife
of Gen. Robert Toombs, and that there
is no prospect of her restoration in the
future. The brightest picture in the
history of Gen. Toombs has been his
devotion to his wife. No cavalier of
the olden time ever won a worthier fame
for his chivalric bearing. Together,
bereft of children, but blessed with
grandchildren, they have come to tlie
declining years of life hand in hand,
and with hearts as loving and tender as
when first they were wed. The change
in General Toombs grows more marked
every day as lie realizes the slow decay
of the wife that has been such a com
fort and help to him in his long public
career. Feeble himself and daily fail
ing, her afflictions seemed to have chas
tened and subdued his lion heart and
lordly manners, and it is hard to con
template him in his changed condition
without a feeling of tender regard.
With all his political peculiarities he
has kept Lis domestic affections pure
and strong. Hide by side, tender and
true to the last, this remarkable couple
are slowly tending to the grave, and
neither will long survive the other.”
Alfred 11. Colquitt.
Cincinnati Times-Star.
There can he no reasonable doubt
that the successor of the late Ben Ilill
in the United States Senate will be
Governor Alfred 11. Colquitt. Ex
cepting the “great commoner,” who
will succeed Mr. Colquitt in the gub
ernatorial office, no man is so univer
sally admired and esteemed by the peo :
plo of Georgia as the present Governor.
FI is popularity is due less to liis wise
administration of public affaire,perhaps
than to his fine qualities as a man. lie
enjoys the implicit confidence of the
masses, irrespective of party. Gover
nor Colquitt is a notable exception to
the rule that clergyman who go into
politics dishonor their profession. Nei
ther his political aspirations nor his
official duties are so absorbing that he
cannot frequently find time to preach
to tlie colored people, and with much
more zest, it is said, than he makes
political speeches. Half a dozen other
names are mentioned in connection with
the Senatorsliip, but Colquitt, has no
competitor of whom he is afraid.

A Hurricane at Sea.
A New York dispatch, dated Octo
ber 1, says: “The steamer Yenice,
which arrived yesterday from Yokoha
ma, brings a tale of wild seas and ter
rific winds, during which her decks
were converted into a scene of havoc,
and her chief officer was washed over
board and lost. After leaving Yoko
hama on June 29 the. steamer touched
at Shanghai, Amoy, Hong Kong, Sin
gapore, Aden, Suez, Port Said and
Gibraltar. She was consigned to Peter
Wright ih Sons and commanded by
Captain Blard. Until September 2.5
the vessel experienced light airs and
fine, sunshiny days, hut on that date
the wind freshened and thick, rainy
weather set in. This developed into a
hurricane, which gradually increased
in force until tlie afternoon of the 25th,
when the sky was as black as ink and
the waves were rolling mountains high.
“It was about latitude 39 degrees 45
minutes and longitude 70 degrees 42
minutes, at half-past five o’clock,” said
Captain Blard, yesterday, “and the sea
became so wild that I did not deem it
prudent to run any longer before the
wind. We were abreast of the Georges
shoals then, and preparations were
made to lay to. In half an hour the
ship’s speed was reduced and she lay
to the wind under a storm staysail.
The men were putting an extra sheet
on the staysail; I was compelled to go
below, ami asked the chief officer, Mr.
Thomas Rlliott, to take my place and
keep a sharp lookout. He laughingly
responded, ‘All right,’ and went up on
the bridge at once. 1 had hardly got
down the companion way when an aw
fnl sea struck the ship on the port side
forward, washing the decks from stem
to stern and filling the waist of the
vessel for a minute or so level with the
top of the deck house. Every man who
was on deck had to hold on for dear
life, and one of the sailors was whirled
the whole length of tlie deck before he
could got a grip on a rail. When the
water cleared away the chief officer was
missing. Thinking he might have
crept forward, where four men were
lashed to the wheel, we made a search
for him, hut all in vain. One of the
crew saw him spring toward an iron
railing on the bridge just as the great
wall of water rose above him. Poor
Elliott must have been knocked sense
less, for he never uttered a cry for help,
lie came from Salcombe-llegis, Eng
land, where his young bride of less than
a year awaits his return. He was a
bright, gallant young man. Of course,
nothing could bo done for him, as the
ocean was in a terrible condition and
we had to look out for the vessel. Soon
after the weather quieted down, and
although it blew pretty hard straight
along, we arrived here without further
accident.”
The woodwork on the deck was torn
away in a number ot places, and even
strips of iron bolted over the hatch
covers were ripped off and bent like
cardboard by the water. The end of
one of the lifeboats on deck was cut off
by the waves as clean as though it had
been dona by an axe. The deck was
sprung in many places, and even the
paniol work on the deck house was
swept away despite its strong fastening.

New Orleans, October s.— The fol
lowing dispatch puts at rest the rumors
telegraphed from Matamoras concern
ing the health of Monterey, a city just
opened up to trade by the completion
of the Mexican National railway to
that point; "Lore,do, October J t . —The
city physician and personal inquiry as
sure me that there is no yellow fever in
or near Monterey. The city’s sanitary
condition is good. By authority of the
President and an order of the Governor
quarantine was proclaimed yesterday
throughout the State against all infect
ed districts.

“Special Health Inspector.”
Brownsville, October 5,-There were
nine new cases of yellow fever here to
day. The doctor at Fort Brown, with
a fever nurse in tlie hospital, were to
day taken down with the fever. There
were six new eases in Matamoras, hut
no deaths to-day. The daily death
rate in Mier is from eight to twelve.
The weather is hot.
New Orleans, October s.— The Pic
ayune’s special from Pensacola says:
This, the thirty-ninth day of the
scourge, close with a record of fifty-five
new oases, including one reported last
night, and four deaths. There is no
improvement and no encouragement to
physicians and attendants, save the
consciousness that we are approaching
nearer day by day to cold weather.
There is undoubtedly material enough
to feed the fever, even at the present
progress, for several weeks to come. A
number of eases reported by tlie physic
ians are of individuals who have had
the fever in former years. Mr. P. K.
Young is among the new eases. He
had the black vomit in 1873. Captain
Kldridge, of the steamer E. E. Simpson,
was taken down to-day with the fever.
The condition of Rev. M. Owen is very
critical. Captain Ronissia, of the
Austrian bark Arno, who was taken
sick Sunday, died last night. The
Arno entered from Kingston, Jamaica,
and almost finished loading with lum
ber. Dr. Gorham and J. P. Jones,
membeis of the board of health, visited
the quarantine stations to-day to inves
tigate the condition of affairs. There
arc four vessels now at the quarantine,
one of which is infected.
Judge C. F. Crisp is now engaged
in an active canvass of his district.
Every Democrat in the district ought
to rally to his support. Independentism
is the common curse of Georgia poli
ties, and it ought not to he allowed to
get a foothold in the “old reliable”
