THOMAS IIABDEMAN,

FOR CONGRESS 3rd DISTRICT;
JUDGE C. F. CRISP,
OF SUMTER.
Election Tuesday, November 7th, 1882.
It is estimated that the reduction in
the public debt for the month of Octo
ber is about $15,250,00.
From the Lincolnton News: Avery
abundant crop of acorns, and hogs and
negroes are happy. The hogs on ac
count of the acorns and the negroes be
cause of the hogs.
Slater Fund.
Dr. A. G. Haygood, accepted the
trusteeship of that fund on the 26th ult.
in Cleveland Ohio. This fund is a do
nation to build a seminary for the edu
cation of Southern negroes.
Governor Stephens’ majority as
shown by the official count is 62,357.
This is larger than was claimed for
him even by sanguine friends. Asa
total it it most gratifying to the party
and the people
There are thirteen judges to be elect
ed by the present Legislature of this
State, and for the honors thus offered
bids are numerous, there being thirty
two candidates of which number there
are ten of them under thirty-five years
of age.
A Richmond, Va., banking house is
paying sl2 for SI,OOO for six, seven or
eight per cent. Confederate states
bonds with March, April, June or Oc
tober, 1865, coupons, and half the price
far those bearing January, 1866 cou
pons.
The craving for stimulants, or for
the excitements produced by stimulants,
is inherent in animal life. The mission
of the reformer is to guide and control
that appetite. It cannot be obliterated.
Prohibition of one means of gratifying
that desire, will not remove it.
The Legislatures of Ohio and Penn
sylvania will be asked, at their next
session, to prepare and submit to the
people, constitutional amendments ab
solutely prohibiting the manufacture
and sale, within the State limits, of in
toxicating drinks of all kinds.
Colonel Sam Strong, ot Washing
ton, offers to bet his SIO,OOO West
Virginia plantation of 1,000 acres, free
and clear of any claim on it, against
$5,000 in money, that General B. F.
Butler will be elected Governor of
Massachusetts, and this offer will stand
open to any person until the night of
the election.
The census of 1880 will fill thirty
volumes of nine hundred pages each.
Ten thousand copies will be printed of
the complete work, and one hundred
thousand copies of a compendium in
one volume, and an extra ten thousand
ot the volumes on agriculture and pop
ulation. The printing will cost sl,-
000,000.
It may not be generally known by
the average reader, but it is the fact
that the six leading agricultural pro
ductions of the United States, accord
ing to the census report for 1880 were
in the following order; Corn, wheat,
hay, cotton, oats, potatoes. The value
of the first was $600,000,000, of wheat
$500,000,000, hay $330,000,000, cot
ton $242,000,000, oats $130,000,000,
and potatoes $73,000,000.
Southern Land in Demand.
Agents at the North who have been
selling Western land to foreign compa
nies are finding out that land in the
South is not only more suitable for the
large class of immigrants now coming
over, but that land in our climate is
demanded. In response to this change
in the tide, Southern lands are looking
up in real estate circles. There is now
an inquiry for 100,000 acres on file at
Augusta, for immigrants and settlers
■■ ..-.-I.
Attorney-General Blair, of Virginia,
has given and opinion that the convic
tion of a negro of a felony, while a slave,
does not deprive him now of the right
to vote. When a slave, the attorney
general says, the negro had no citizen
ship and of course had no franchise or
rights to loose; by the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments, to the constitu
tion, which make no exceptions, he has
been habilitated with the elective fran
chise and all of the rights of citizen
ship.
Death of Professor Mitchell.
Specil to Chronicle and Constitutionalist.
Athens, October 31. — Dr. Wm. L.
Mitchell, who has been for the past
thirty years, Professor of Law in the
University, died this noon.
XheGw ernor’s Message.
This last message of Gov. Colquitt,
was read in both branches of the Leg
islature after organization. All the
subjects of executive consideration were
touched upon. The Finances, Combtrol
ler General’s report, Public schools,
Railroad commission, Agriculturalcom
mission, Penitentiary, State University,
Asylums, etc. The remarks of the
Governor showed his familiarity with
all these State interests. His message
was purely in a didactic and busines
style, varying but little from the usual
methodical details of former messages.
We may be able to furnish the text of
the message in our next, but cannot
now, as it is lengthy, and but few of
our readers would devote the time nec
essary to read it. The Constitution
holds the following, in regard to it:
It is not saying too much to say that
its perusal must gratify every Geor
gian, and till them with a pride of their
state. In every department of its
growth and administration there is im
provement and progress. The value
of the taxable properity is vastly in
creased, the rate of taxation is reduced
nearly one-half, the cost of collecting
the tax is lessened to one-third of what
it was, the credit of the state is raised
and the rate of interest on its debt low
ered, the cost of administering the gov
ernment is reduced in evety particular,
while its efficiency is is impaired in
none.
Legislature.
This body was organizod by the
election of the Hon. J. S. Boyinton,
President of the Senate, William Har
ris of Worth, Secretary. Hon. L. F.
Garrard, was elected Speaker of the
House, and Mr. Mark Harden clerk.
All the other offices were filled in order.
Election for Judges will probably
take place at an early date. The elec
tion for U. S. Senator in the place of
Mr. Hill, will occur on Tuesday week,
14lh inst. Speaking of the Senatorial
election, we can but express a decided
disapproval of the methods used by
correspondents and politicians to de
feat Gov. Colquitt in his aspirations
for that position. The assertion, or
insinuation that Gov. Colquitt would
use, or sanction bribery in his election,
is preposterous and bears its negation
on its face, especially in the form set
forth. If Colquitt, or his friends pro
pose to forward his election by the use
of Republican votes, he certainly would
not do it at the expense of his friends,
and at his own injury. The other
course of paying a direct straight out
price iu money would be preferred, as
the most economical and expeditious.
But the whole charge was conceived in
hate, and brought forth in despair.
Let every man stand on his intellectual
and moral excellence, or his adaptabil
ity for the office. This would be dig
nified and worthy between competing
parties and friends. Any other course
will act as a boomerang hurting those
who use it more than those against
whom it is hurled.
Some antiquarian has just dug tip
these figures as the pay received by
the first Congress: “The Continental
Congress met on the 16th of May,
1775; the number of members was
sixty-four. At this time a member
appeared from St. John’s Parish, Ga.,
and afterward the colony of Georgia
sent an entire delegation. Each col
ony paid its own delegation. New
Hampshire allowed to each all ex
penses, a servant, two horses, and a
guinea a day; Massachusetts, expenses
and $3 per day; Rhode Island and
Maryland, forty shillings a day *and
expenses; Virginia, a half Jenannes
per day ; North Carolina, £2OO per
annum; South Carolina, £3OO per
annum; Georgia, £IOO per month
while in session.”
Judge Kelley declares that the
$147,500,00 raised by internal revenue
taxation last year was the product of
an entirely unnecessary and tyrannical
exercise of the taxing power. Judge
Kelley, however, thinks it is a very
just and holy process to keep iu force
a war tariff which, seventeen years af
ter the war, wrenches by indirect taxa
tion not less than $400,000,000 from
the farmers alone every year.
Died.
In Macon, Mother Mary De Sales,
on Monday last, of consumption. Her
death is a loss not only to the institu
tion of Mt. De Sales, but to the com
munity, Catholic and Protestant. Her
maiden name was Wall, she was in
middle life, and those who knew her
deplore her loss to the people of her
city.
The Toledo Journal, an independent
paper with Republican tendencies,
writes the epitaph of the Republican
party in these veritable words: “Died
in the house of its friends. Poisoned
by counting in an nnelected President,
starved upon tour years of sycophancy,
and strangled at last as the only means
of beating Grant and the Stalwarts.”
Dr. Atticus G. Haygood has accept
ed the general agency of the Slater
fund, for educating the colored people
in the South, at a salary of $3,000,
but he will still remain at the head of
' Emory Callege at Oxford Georgia.
Venus’s Coining Transit.
The great astronomic event of the
year wili be the transit of Venus, which
occurs on the 6th of next December.
The Scientific American says of it:
Astronomers have been busy for
years ill getting ready for the transit,
for the whole western world, where the
sky is clear, will be in the sunlight
during some portion of the passage.
The busy notes of preparation are now
being sounded in many of the Ameri
can observatories, where every aid that
science can command will be utilized
for the occasion, while European as
tronomers have already formed their
plans, received appropriations for the
great expenses to be incurred, and
chosen stations which are the best
adapted for observations, as well as
those that are at extreme distances from
each other.
The phenomenon is not sublime and
awe-inspiring, like a total eclipse of
the sun; nor simply beautiful, like the
conjunction of two planets; nor magni
ficent, like the telescopic Saturn. The
naked eye observer, looking at the sun
through a smoked glass, will see a tiny
black spot passing over his face. The
telescopic observer will see a black
round ball, as large as a full grown
moon, making its way across the great
luminary. The phenomenon to the
ordinary observer will be only this and
nothing more. But thousands of scien
tific observers will eagerly note, as if
life depended upon the accuracy, the
second when Venus touches the sun’s
edge, the moment when she is fully
embarked upon his disk, the exact
time of her passage, and the second
when her retreating edge touches the
sun’s edge, as well as the time when
the last contact occurs and the exhibi
tion closes. There are two principal
reasons for the importance attached to
a transit of Venus. One is that it is
considered the best means for deter
mining the sun’s distance; the others is
that it is extremely rare in its occur
rence.
The Election For Senator.
P. W. A. In Macon Telegraph.
The election of the United States
Senator, both for the unexpired and
the full term, will take place on the
second Tuesday after the meeting of
the Legislature, which will be the 14th
day of November. Chief Justic Jack
son’s triends have taken room No. 16
at the Kimball House, and after Wed
nesday next their headquarters will be
at room No,lo, in the corner of the
building overlooking the passenger de
pot, and the room so long occupied by
the lamented Hill as his law office.
Gov. Colquitt has taken the room in
the opposite corner on Decatur street,
known as the “bridal chamber.” Mr.
Clifford Anderson’s headquarters, it is
understood, will be at the Markham
House. The supporters of Gen. Law
ton and Mr. Black, of Augusta, have
not yet taken rooms, but will do so
soon. No credence should be given to
the malicious report, so industriously
circulated,That the names of these dis
tinguished gentlemen will not be pre
sented to the Legislature.
A Kentucky Mob Bloodily Re
pulsed.
Cincinnati, November I.—A Lex
ington, Ky., special says the troops
guarding Neal and Craft,while on their
way to the steamer Granite State, were
attacked by a mob. The soldiers fired
and several were killed and wounded
of the attacking party. The prisoner
and troops got safely on board, when
the mob seized a train and headed off
the boat at Ashland, Ky., where anoth
er attack was made. The troops re
turned the fire, and again a number of
the mob were killed and wounded. So
far as known only three of the soldiers
were wounded, and thev but slightly.
Private dispatches received here place
the number of killed at five and wound
ed at thirty. The steamer Granite
State has passed Portsmouth, and, un
less the fog prevents, will reach Mays
ville to-night, where the prisoners will
be transferred to the railroad to be
taken to Lexington
Marriage Association.
New Oislens, Oct. 30. —The Times-
Democrat’s Dallas,Texas, special says
an indignation meeting of swindled
policy holders of the marriage associa
tions was held at noon, Prof. Malone
Presiding. He said he had been swin
dled out of $l9O. He was not disposed
to submit to the loss if there was law
enough >n Texas to punish cheating
and swindling Others had been sim
ilarly treated. Without action the
meeting adjourned until Wednesday.
Meantime a line of action will be plan
ned. The idea most favored was the
issue of warrants against the agents for
obtaining money under false pretences.
The feeling is very bitter.
South western Railroad.
Macon, October 30. —At a meeting
of the board directors of the South
western railroad, held this morning at
eleven o’clock at Central Georgia bank,
Col. John E. Jones was elected Presi
dent of the company, to fill the unex
pired term of Gen. W. S. Holt, Vice-
President, W. G. Raoul, of the Central
railroad, was elected to fill the vacancy
in the board of directors, caused by the
death of W. M. .Wadley, and J. J.
Gresham was elected to fill the vacancy
caused by the promotion of Colonel
Jones from the directorship to the pres
idency.
Extravagance
is a crime; and ladies can not afford
to do without Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite
Prescription,” which by preserving
and restoring health, preserves and
restores that beauty which depends
on health.
The National Republican calls up
on the Stalwart folks “to rebuke the
insolence of a blustering mountebank,
who asserts the right to lead their party,
which he stabs while embracing.”
This is a portrait of Mr Blaine by one
of his own household,
The Party of “Moral Ideas” all
Torn up.
Courier-Journal.
Some republican organs arc express
ing the opinion that the only way to
have their party united in 1884 is to let
the democrats make a clean sweep this
year. It is very probable that the
democrats will make a clean sweep
without republican permission. The re
publican are getting into the hopelessly
divided condition which characterized
the democracy in 1860, aDd it is not
improbable that the result will be the
same as that which followed democratic
division.

FROM HARPER’S BAZAR-September, 1882.
Another Velvet season is one of the certainties announced thus early by
the merchants. Plush is spoken of cautiously, and indeed depreciatingly,
because it does not wear satisfactorily, although there will be many entire
costumes of plush sent over from Paris. The best service, however, is given
in the close short-pile velvets, and in the Nonpareil Velveteen, which is not
easily marred or creased. The Nonpareil Velveteen is found in all the stylish
new shades of old green, sapphire, wine-color, shaudron, bronze, seal brown
and black, and when made with the pile turned upward, so that it will be
rased by wear,, instead of becoming flattened and sleek, it cannot be distin
guished from Silk Velvet. The difference in the price makes the costume
cosi about one-third as much as if made of Lyons velvet, as the various quaJi
tiestcost from 81 to 82 a yard. The Rnssian pelisse suits of this velveteen
wjll be worn in black and dark colors during the early autumn and entire
winter. The skirt will be short and round, and its only trimming a ruche
like that on the pelisse. There will also be English morning suits of vel
veteen made with belted hunting jackets, or the short cut-away coats such
as gentlemen wear in the morning. The lower skirt will be pleated half its
length, gored at the top, and the gored part covered by ample draperies.

when made up, looks so exactly like Lyons velvet that few experts can tell
the difference. octfiStf
