Democrats of the Third Congress
ional district, drive the nail home on
Tuesday, the 7th of November, bygiv
ing Crisp a rousing majority.
Gov Foster, of Ohio, says that the
annual proceeds of the sale of liquor at
retail in that State are $70,000,000,
and that one-lialf of this sum is net
profit to the bar-keepers.
Mr. Stephens has sent to the Gover
nor his resignation as a member of Con
gress. An election has been ordered in
that District on November 7th for his
successor for the unexpired term.
Three new Central Railroad coaches

schedule will go into effect on the loth
hist. Now watch out and see what the
E. T. V. & G. will do.
From all indications revealed by the
official returns, it is probable that
Mr. Stephens’ majority in the State
will be 65,000. This majority will
throw a wet blanket over the hopes of
the Independent candidates for Congress

gressional district,

The names of Colquitt, Jackson,
Hammond, Lawton and Black are
frequently mentioned in connection with
the Senatorship of Georgia. Notone of
these gentlemen is the mental superior
of Judge Willis Hawkins of Americus.
In matters of law, constitutional rights
and the entire fundamental principles
of government, he is the peer of any.
Hou. Allen Fort for Judge of the
Southwestern Circuit.
How many may be aspirants for the
Judgeship of the Southwestern circuit
we know not, nor endorsing the claims
of the gentleman whose name heads this
article, we would not be understood as
disparaging the claims of any other per
son.
We do know that Colonel Fort will
be a candidate before the next General
Assembly for that position.
Colonel Fort is a prominent member
of the Americus bar, and has worked
his way up by industry and close at
tention to business. He has filled every
position of honor which he desired and
was in the gift of the county and we
think the weight ot popular sentiment
in the circuit if consulted would place
him on the bench. His acquaintance
with the litigations of the people fit him
for active and ready work, and qualify
him as a fit and able successor to that
bright light of jurisprudence, Hon. C.
F. Crisp.
Don’t wau’t Colored P. O. Clerks.
Chattanooga, Oct. 7. —Considerable
comment has been made on an article
that appeared in the Democrat this
morning, stating that a negro would
take a place in the post-office to-day.
True to the statement he did so, and is
bow a companion of lady clerks. The
action of Postmaster Grisom has been
severely condemned by both Democrats
and Republicans. There was no ex
cuse for it, except tho negroes wanted
office, and their party thought this
the best way to appease them. The
lady clerks at the post-office, and
probably tome of the male clerks, will
resign their positions at the end ot the
month.
The President.
New York, Oct. B. The condition
of President Arthur’s health when he
first left Washington last summer was
very serious. He was suffering from
kidney disease, and was warned of an
early fatal termination of the disease
unless be sought immediate repose.
The President has invited all the
members of the Cabinet to meet him in
New York and accompany him to Bos
ton Tuesday.

GEORGIA ITEMS.
Mr. D. W. Davis’ little son, Edwin,
of Worth county, while going a short
distance to a neighbor’s with his moth
er, last Thursday, became exhausted
and had to be left on the roadside un
til a conveyance could be procured. A
gentleman passing along took the lit
tle fellow up before him on his mule
and instantly the child expired.
W. T. Sheffield killed Silas Shef
field, in Colquitt, on Monday last.
Three shots were fired, the former was
stuck just below the nipple, and died
in ten minutes.
The office of the Fort Gaines Tribune
was seriously threatened by a fire on
Thursday last. The roof of the build
ing caught from a piece of burning
paper, but timely discovery prevented
serious results. The building was on
ly slightly damaged and no damage to
the material of the office resulted there
from.
Randall Brown, the colored Demo
crat who was stabbed a short time
since by Matt. Davis, the colored
Postmaster of Athens, is still in a
critical condition, and his physician
entertains no hope of his recovery.
Davis, the attempted murderer, is still
out on bond.
A charity hospital for the poor,
male and female, of Atlanta lias been
established by a number of philanthro
pic citizens of the city, who held a
meeting at tho Medical College build
ing on Friday last for that purpose.
They have procured as a hospital a
large two-story frame building on Pryor
street; just in rear of the Medical Col
lege building. The hospital will be
under the immediate supervision of the
President and faculty of the Southern
Medical College. The ladies of At
lanta are taking an active part in its
management.
Telegraph and Messenger: We
have seen some tomatoes grown from
the seed of canned tomatoes, and they
are exceedingly fine as to flavor and
size. This is somewhat remarkable,
as the tomatoes before being canned
are cooked for a certain length of time
so as to keep. The tomatoes thus grown
are of a pinkish color, hut of rich flavor
and firmness.
Telegraph and Messenger: It is
thought by the police that Silas Ivey
made his escape from the city early yes
terday mcr.iing by meins of a rag
wagon. It is said that he had been
waiting in Macon for twenty dollars
that had been owing to him, and that
the amount was paid to him Sunday
night. Through a misunderstanding,
the officers failed to be at the proper
place and thus he escaped. As the
country is pretty well flooded with de
scriptive circulars, it is hoped that he
cannot go far.
The Methodist parsonage, in Albany,
has been destroyed by fire. The furni
ture was saved. The building was in
sured for $1,400, and the pastor, Rev.
A. M. Williams, had a policy of SIOO
on his effects.
Communicated
Political Analysis of tlic Inde
pendents and Joabites; Or. the
Tiling as I See It.
It may be that I am laboring under
a mental delusion or an optical illusion,
but to me it seems to be a reality that
the three parties in Georgia that stand
in opposition to the Democratic party
are but three grand divisions of the
radical or republican party all having
for their object the defeat of democracy,
and directed and controlled by Long, of
Macon, who I conceive to be the foilorn
hope and only avowed leader of the
radical party in the State.
The independents so-called, with
Speer at their head and Gartrell and
Felton as subalterns, do not claim to
be radicals nor republicans while they
evidently fight under the same banner
with Long, use the same arguments,
the same political slang and vote the
same ticket and have for a common
purpose the destruction of the Demo
cratic party.
The supposed third division is not
known by any name. Their actions
are supposed to be all of a secret order
and therefore may justly be called the
Joabites. The secret blades are ever
directed to the most vital punctions of
the Democratic party while it responds
to the roll call of Long and his subal
terns at the ballot-box, giving their
united strength to the high head ticket.
Now when we put these three grand
divisions of the political army into the
ballot box or the political crucible and
analize them we find the result is the
same. Republicanism first and last
effected with the black rot and in a state
of decay.
Here I am inclined to put a fact, the
existence of which none will deny, into
this same political crucible, and after a
careful analysis I think we will find
the same result that is the inevitable
tendency of the independents into radi
calism as a common centre. Mr. Speer
and his subalterns, Gartrell and Felton,
claim the necessity of anew party upon
the assumption that the Democratic
party in Georgia is a failure and render
ed powerless by its divisions, and liable
to be overcome by the radical party.
On Wednesday last the 4th day of
October, this shameless assumption
that the Democratic party of Georgia
is a failure was put into the political
crucible and fully analyzed and purged
of its falsity, and exhibits to us the as
tounding fact that the Democratic party
of Georgia has a majority of fifty thou-
s.iii-1 votes over the united votes of the
three grand divisions in conspiracy
against it; thus giving to us the high
est evidence that no necessity exist for
anew party in Georgia, hut that there
is a natural and inherent tendency of
Speer and his subalterns to a decline,
or a waisting away with the black rot.
By this analysis we see that there is
no truth or shadow of soundness in the
assumption that the weakness of the
Democratic party makes the formation
of anew party necessary, nor can there
ever he such a necessity while the
Democratic majority approximates its
present number against the combined
vote of the three grand divisions of the
radical party under Long and his allies.
But the great battle is over, the grand
old commoner is elected and the querry
is before us what will the independents
so-called and that hypothetical party
alias the Joabites do? Will they, like
the prodigal son, tire of the husk left
by the swine and return to the fathers
house where there is bread enough and
to spare, or will they lose their identity
and be absorbed by Long and his host?
Lost to fame and self-respect, the word
infamy written upon every fold of their
garments floating upon the surface of
the black sea of radicalism, crying votes
for sale to the highest bi .filer is the on
ly answer. Such at least is the thing
as I see it in the crucible after a care
ful analysis. Tell it not in Gath nor
publish it not in the streets of Askalon
least the sons and daughters of Etheopia
rejoice. The Political Chemist.
Crisp and Harrell.
Berrien County News.
Judge Harrell, the independent can
didate for Congress in the fil'd district,
addressed the people of Irwin at
Irwinville on Monday last. He start
ed out by telling the people he was a
farmer, and labored earnestly to ex
cite the prejudices of the laboring
classes against professional men. He
read a few extracts to define his posi
tion and this was the sum and sub
stance of his speech; but, when Judge
Crisp in his reply removed the veil
with which he endeavored to hide his
true character, he was in a much more
contemptable attitude before the people
than if he had made no speech. Judge
Crisp painted him in his true colors
and showed him to he not only a pro
fessional man which he indirectly
denied, but an incessant office seeker,
and one who would take an office in
any manner he could get it. The ne
groes diil not even take to him, hut on
the contrary, said they felt like kicking
him out of the court house, so we are
informed upon reliable authority.
Judge Crisp was loudly cheered and
will, in all probability, receive every
vote in Irwin county. Let every man
in the third district go to the polls on
the 7th of November.
Double Barrel Harrell, is the latest
explanation ot Mr. D. B. Harrell’s
initials. He is loaded to suit any oc
casion, and can shoot to suit radicals,
independents and Democrats, That
is not the kind of a man to send to
Congress. —Coffee County Gazette.
Gcorgla Hay—Savc.
Constitution.
With western hay standing as we
may say', cross-legged in the market at
$1.50 a hundred, we should think the
farmers of Georgia would comctot ho con
clusion that grass is grass whether it is
green or not. The western hay which
holds the market comes about as near
not being grass as anything that grows.
It is rotten inside the bales and woody
on the outside, but when the Georgia
mule sticks liis profPeoutof the stable
door and remarks that he is compelled
to have a little lunch, the western hay
becomes very valuable. Last winter
nearly every farmer in Georgia drove
his wagon into some railroad town and
carried out a supply of this western hay,
paying $1.50 a hundred cash, or about
$2 on time. The difficulty is that
whether the weather is cold or hot,
horses and mules must be used to culti
vate the lands, and when these creatures
grow hungry, western hay is about as
good a substitute for food as can be
found. It is more nourishing and more
easily digested, for instance, than rails
or barrel hoops, it sustains lite and
probably hardens the bone, and when
the worst comes to the worst, although
it is woody on the outside and rotten
on the inside, the faimers are compell
ed to have it when the winter finds their
barns empty, even though they pay
$1.50 and $2 a hundred.
But a very simple calculation will
show that it is ruinous to buy the stuff,
even supposing it, by a romantic stretch
of imagination, to be the finest and
most nutiitious food in the universe.
Grass may be grass, but grass at the
market price of western hay is only an
other form of bankrutcy. One would
think that the farmers of Georgia are
compelled by some stress of climate or
some unfavorable condition of soil to
buy this stuff; hut they are not. There
has never been a year since Georgia
was a state when the farmers, by a lit
tle extra exertion, and little or no ex
tra expense, could not have made and
cured in one season hay enough to do
them two. Moreover, there is not a
thoughtful farmer in the state who will
question this statement.
We are told by those who have re
cently been upon the ground that there
is now enough hay going to waste in
southern and southwestern Georgia to
last the farmers of these sections three
years. This hay would cost only the
labor of cutting and curing it. It was
planted by the hand of Providence and
has been brought to maturity by the
most propitious seasons that have ever
been known in the state. It is far su
perior to the western stuff that is sold
in railroad towns, being genuine hay.
We are fir.'ther told, however, that in
stead of saving this heaven-sent forage,
the short-sighted farmers are bending
all their energies toward picking out
cotton, although they know that the
hay they can save in one week is of more
value than the cotton they can pick in
the same length of time. We allude
to southern and southwestern Georgia
in this connection, because wo have in
formation from those sections. We
suppose, however, that what is said
here will apply to every section of the
state. The seasons have been good,
equally good in every portion of Geor
gia, and there is no portion under fence
that has not produced hay unless other
late crops have Ven in the way. The
probability is that the farmers of the
state will never have such another op
portunity of saving a supply of forage
with so little effort.
A large portion of this volunteer
forage can still be cured and stored, and
we wite this for the purpose of exort
ing our farmers to put themselves to a
little extra trouble to reap the advan
tages which a bountiful Providence has
placed within their reach.
