ffct Republican "e. W. HANCOCK, JDDITOR JLNT) PBOPBIETOa. AMEBICVS, CEOIMJIA* Saturday Morning, November 4, 1882. Official Organ of Sumter County Official Organ of Schley County. Official Organ of Lee County. Official Organ of Webster County. FOR (JONGRESSMA N-A T-LARG E: THOMAS IIABDEMAN, OF 8188. 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.

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. PETERSON’S MAGAZINE—For a very handsome toilet we know of nothing that can tajce the place of the Nonpareil Velveteen. DEMOREST’S ILLUSTRATED JOURNAL—Nonpareil Velveteen when made up, looks so exactly like Lyons velvet that few experts can tell the difference. octfiStf
