The contest for the Speakership in the
next House will probably narrow down
between Messrs. Carlisle, of Kentucky,
and Randall, of Pennsylvania. With
the former in the Chair there would be
no fears of a halting or blundering poli
cy. Mr. Carlisle has the courage of his
convictions.
Proclamation.
President Arthur, whose pet name is
Chet, was a little ahead of the music
in his proclamation. Donbtless he an
ticipated a different result on the "th
inst. If he didn’t, the predicate for
a thanksgiving is very strauge for a
stalwart. We do not obj'ect to thanks
giving, and especially do we find cause
to give thanks down South; that our
Northern allies have achieved such
brilliant victories. We also give thanks
for our own success in obliterating the
cancerous eruptions of Republicanism
on the body public down South. We
propose to attend any thanksgiving
dinner at any place in the reach of a
pedestrian if solicited. Let the turkies
give up the ghost, we will see to it that
ours dies, if any one will furnish the
living fowl, and celebrate the occasion
for this time.
Democratic Governors.
By th. middle of January next a large
majority of the Gubernatorial chairs in
this country will be occupied by Demo
crats. Tuesday, the 7th, made thirteen
gentlemen of that political stripe Chief
Executives of their States as follows;
Gen. Stoneman, in California; James
B. Grant, Colorado; Thomas M. Wal
ler, Connecticut; Charles C. Stockley,
Delaware; George W. Glick, Kansas;
Benj. F. Butler, Massachusetts; Josiah
W. Bezole, Michigan; Jewett W.
Adams, Nevada; Grover Cleveland,
New York; R. E. Pattison, Pennsylvan
ia; H. S. Thompson, South Carolina;
W. B. Bate, Tennessee; John Ireland,
Texas. That was truly a disastrous
day for Republican Gubernatorial aspi
rants.
There were already Democratic Chief
Executives in Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland,
Mississippi, Missouri, Mew Jersey,
North Carolina and West Virginia. So
that,with the new list added,Democratic
Governors will preside over twenty-four
of the thirty-eight States. Only two
Republican Gubernatorial nominees
were successful on Tuesday last—S. W.
Hale, in New Hampshire, and James
W. Dawes, in Nebraska.

Hon. Allen Fort.
We give below an epitomised history
of the career of our new judge, as it
may be of interest to some of our read
ers at a distance as well as at home:
Judge Fort was born in Stewart coun
ty on the 14th of July, 1849. He grad
uated at the University of Georgia in
1867, at the age of eighteen, and shar
ing the first honor with a comrade. He
read law under Col. Willis Hawkins
and came to the bar in 1868. He has
three times represented Sumter county
in tho legislature; was a delegate to the
national democratic convention in 1876,
and represented the State on the com
mittee that notified Governor Tilden of
his nomination. He has been promi
nent as a possible candidate for Con
gress in the Third district. While in
the legislature he was prominent on
several leading committees, acting for
sometime as Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee of the House. He was
elected by the House one of the mana
gers in the Renfroe impeachment trial,
and he and A. H. Cox conducted the
argument before the Senate. He was
Chairman of the M. <fc B. R. It., com
mittee and was the author of the bill
selling that road. He was Chairman
pro tem of the railroad committee, and
in connection with Hon. Mr. Rankin,
of Gordon, drafted the Fort Rankin
railroad bill, and secured the passage
through the house of this bill, which,
with the Senate amendments, consti
tute our present railroad commission
law. He is an accomplished lawyer,
a popular gentleman and will be a val
uable accession to the bench of Georgia.
He is the youngest Judge on the bench
of Georgia, as he was the youngest
representative when a member of the
House. If he sustains the reputation
already won, as a Judge, there is no
trust in the gift of Georgians to which
he will not be eligible. We wish him
eminent success as Judge of the South
western circuit.
Southern Cultivator for Novem
ber.
Truly we can say each visit of this
standard Southern agricultural journal
gives increased pleasure. We empha
size the fact of its being a Southern
publication, because the prosperous
North sustains many valuable agricul
tural papers, and it is-meet and proper
that Southern farmers should not only
have a journal devoted to their inter
ests, but should have one that is first
class in every respect. Aside from the
fact that its columns, richly laden with
information on all subjects connected
with agriculture, is invaluable to the
progressive farmer, it should be main
tained because it is the exponent aud
representative of the Southern farmer.
The November number contains an
interesting description of Col. Peters’
Jersey herd and his “Thirty Years’
Experience on a North Georgia Stock
Farm.” His success demonstrates that
such ventures will pay South as well as
North, and every farmer should read
the article. “Green Manuring” or
how to renew a run down farm, is an
article alone worth the price of sub
scription. “Economy in Feeding,” by
the Hon. T. J. Moore, of South Caro
lina: “Plantation Life in the South,”
by Prof. D. C. Barrow, of Athens;
“The Fence and Stock Laws of Geor
gia,” are only a few of the interesting
articles.
Dr. Jones’ ‘Thoughts for the Month,’
and his two full pages of answers to
inquirers are of inestimable value.
The publishers have shown enter
prises ahead of anything ever attempt
ed in the South—illustrating the let
ters of their correspondents. “J. O. A.”
of Charlotte, N. C., contributes an ar
ticle on “Hillside Ditching,” and the
publishers have made designs to illus
trate his methods. Mr. Louise Dubroo,
of Vicksburg, Mississippi, has written
another article on “Straw and Fodder
Barracks,” and Messrs. Harrison ifcCo.,
had their artist to draw sketches to il
lustrate the cheap building employed.
And so it is to the end. Improvement
is the watchword of the publishers.
Will they be sustained? Asa matter
of course. Now, they say, they print
three times as many papers as was done
a year ago and the volume is constantly
swelling. Every farmer, not a subscri
ber, should send $1.50 to Jas, P. Har
rison ifc Cos., Atlanta, Ga., for a year’s
subscription.
The Cincinnati Times-Star gives the
followinggood advice to the Democracy:
“The two points upon which the coun
try will watch the Democratic manage
ment at every step are the matters of
tariff and finances. If the party can so
conduct itself in the handling of these
two great interests as to preserve the
confidence of the voters, it will be in
good shape to enter the next Presidential
campaign with great promise of success.
But if the Democracy shows itself weak
on either ®f these two great issues, the
present success will prove an injury
rather than an advantage. It rests with
the managers themselves to follow up
the victory by wise and judicious action
in the next Congress or to fritter it a wav,
as was done in 1874.”

A Georgia Work in China.
The following extracts from a letter
from Rev. Young J. Allen, of Shang
hai, China, a native of Georgia, will
be read with interest. They give a
view of matters in the Flowery King
dom which will astonish many who
suppose that country to be still wedded
to its old civilization. The letter is to
an old classmate in this city:
“For nearly twenty years my life has
been devoted to literary and education
al pursuits, and during that time I
have written or translated more than
one hundred volumes of works, chiefly
historical and scientfic, for the use of
the Chinese Government in schools,
etc., 1 have edited more than thirty
volumes of Chinese periodicals, and
taught for the government nearly three
hundred high class pupils, and just
now I am engaged in founding a first
class Anglo-Chine6e university with a
group of some four high schools to pre
pare pupils for the University proper.
Just now 1 have 400 pupils in the high
schools, and there are nearly a thou
sand more waiting to enter just so soon
as our accommodations will admit. I
must have $30,000 by next spring to
secure the grounds necessary for the lo
cation of the University. The others,
the high schools, are not so urgent.
This amount I must raise by appeals
to my Chinese and Christian friends.”
Of this stupendous undertaking Mr.
Allen further says;
“It is not a matter of nationality.
French, English, German and Chinese
alike contribute to it. Nor is it a mat
ter purely Christian, for the Pagan al
so appreciates the breadth of the move
ment, and helps too. It isjin no sense sec
tarian, but is to stand as a representa
tive of our Western Christain civiliza
tion, and demonstrate to this ancient
Pagan nation our claim to instruct
them and bring into their midst the
blessings of Christian institutions.”

Mrs. Seoville Heard From.
A Washington dispatch dated Nov.
Bth, says a letter was received there by
a member of the District bar from Mrs.
Frances M. Seoville, dated Tecumseh
House, London, Ontario, November 5.
She says;
“You have donbtless heard before
this that a jury in Chicago have found
me guilty of insanity lam trying to
get anew trial and to receive compe
tent help for the same. I was obliged
to go into the trial with Mr. Seoville
and another old, experienced lawyer
against me, while my attorney was a
young man of no experience in insanity
or criminal cases. Notwithstanding all
the witnesses I furnished him and the
splendid testimony they gave for me,
we lost the case because he did not
know how to work it up or to try it.
I came away to save my child. I see
by the papers that Dr. Hicks and the
museum folks are negotiating about
my poor brother’s bones again.’ Don’t
let them, it it can be prevented, put
them on exhibition; it is too horrible to
think about. lam trying to get anew
trial in Chicago. It denied, I shall re
main here, and, if Mr. Seoville comes
on for Bertha, shall light it out in Can
ada. My attorney and all those whom
I have met say that they cannot get me
adjudged insane here. The testimony
is entirely of medical experts and before
a judge. Whether that is better or not
I am in doubt. All my friends, and
they number about all who were on the
stand, said I was and always had beet
perfectly sane; but still the verdict was
against me on the testimony—namely,
of McFarland and Kiernan,two experts
whom Mr. Seoville had on the Guiteau
trial. Unless I am adjudged sane
again somewhere I suppose I have no
more legal existence than an infant ot
an idiot in America, and can only pros
ecute my rights in court through a con
servator or custodian. Mr. S.’s prose
cution of me comes partly from his de
sire to posses himself of all my interest
in property, and partly from devilish
jealousy as unfounded as it is ridicu
lous.”
The letter closes with some requests
looking to making an arrangement with
Gibson Brothers to supply her with
books to be sold in Canada.

To Planters of Georgia,
jgpff“'Many of you remember Baugh’s
Raw Bone Super Phosphate and its
introduction for the growth of Cotton as
far back as 1857, or two years after its
first appearance in the North as the
pioneer phosphate made from Raw or
Unburned Bones. Since that time it
has been used and appreciated by the
leading farmers and planters in the
North and South. Years ago the
manufacturers decided not to sell it on
long time or credit, cotton option, and
were the first as far as they know to
quote a low price (cash down) for a
phosphate of established reputation.
This article conforms in analysis to the
State Law, and is offered at a very low
price for cash. The only terms on
which it can be obtained from the man
ufacturers, are: cash to accompany the
srder; or you can arrange with your
agent in Baltimore, Philadelphia or
New York to pay for it on presentation
of bill and bill of lading.
If you cannot buy Baugh’s Raw
Bone Super Phosphate from your Fac
tor at home, we advise you to order di
rect from us. You will find it to your
interest to consider this subject and
save money, by corresponding with us.

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 deprecatingly,
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 thestylish
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 quali
tiestcost from $1 to $2 a yard. The Rnssian pelisse suits of this velveteen
will 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 take the place of the Nonpareil Velveteen.
DEMOREST’S ILLUSTRATED JOURNAL—Nonpareil Velveteen,
