Son. Si'S. EBU
Arrived in our city Saturday night
last. We are glad to state that h»
health is good, although a little wear-
ried by the arduous duties of the re
cent campaign.
No man iu Georgia has done more
effective work in this con Lest than
our hero of the ninth Congressional
district. The result of the election
in Florida and the large majority
rolled up in our Second Georgia dis
trict demonstrates this fact.
Mr. Hill is confident of the election
of Tilden andf Hendricks, and takes
the inteiference of the Federal gov
ernment into tho affairs of Louisiana,
South Carolina and Florida quite
philosophically. He counsels peace
ar.d submission on the part of the
South, leaving the questions at issue
to he settled by our Northern and
Western friends.
Our hero’s reception everywhere
has been a perfect ovation, and al-.

of citize..s on Saturday night a vote
of thanks was given Miss Pipkins,
the lady telegraph operator, for cour

would give more perfect satisfaction.

parties were handsomely represented
at the Court House, getting an even
start in the race, which was to he
the most • hotly contested of any
which had occurred in the county.
Democrats and Republicans alike,
from Oglethorpe, Madison, Jackson
and Oconee counties were present,
and at no time during the day.
Could any one Veil .with certainty
which party had the advantage.
Both were determined to win the
victory, bnt all were equally deter
mined to keep the peace, and, as a
consequence, no disturbance of any
kind occurred. The polls closed
promptly at the lawful hour—6
o’clock—2,360 votes having been
cast for the different candidates up
to that hour.
The managers counted the vote in
the tpresence of a committee from
each party, and although counted
very rapidly, they were not able to
declare the result until 5 o’clock
Wednesday morning. We have not
been furnished np to this hour with
the official returns, hut one of the
managers informs us that the dem

Charming Photographs.—It
certainly useless for any oue to try to
see elsewhere finer photographs than
are on exhibition at Davis* premium
gallery, of this city, for certainly there
are no more elegant pictures made any
where than by our artist Mr. Davis.
As to his gallery, it is conceded to be
the finest and best arranged in the
State, with evety facility for producing
pictures from the smallest to life-size,
and by any process known to the art.
One is perfectly at home at Davis’
gallery, and with every subject the
proprietor is most painstaking, as he
never allows work to leave his room
without first passing through bis criti
cal examination.
U.P.lf.8,
after them. They avoid him dex
terously, or, if hard-pressed, leap
nimbly over the palisades ol the arena.
Sometimes he overtakes, catches
tosses, or tramples them under foot.
Then, men on horseback, termed
picadores, charge at and prong him
with long lances. Often he unhorses
lh?picadore, and impales him on his
horns. More Irequentlv, he wreaks
his vengeance on the steeds—misera
ble, hroken-kneed and spavined crea
lures. A first-rate toro de muerete
will disembowel and kill from 12 tj
18 horses at a function. These pre
liminaries being at ail end,,another
gang of understrappers, called bnnde-
rilleros, rim after the hull, ar.d plant
in the flesh of his neck and shoulders
numbers of light fpikes, which, like
llarmodious’ dagger, are “ in myrtle
dressed,” or are otherwise decorated
with gaily colored festoons contain
ing crackers, and which, exploding,
burn into the wretched creature’s
hide, and make him bellow 7 . Half
mad, half blind, half suffocated, and
foaming at the month, toro is now
ready for the ministrations of the
matador—the highly distinguished
part which, we presume, was lately
played by the “Eng!i-h or Irish gen
tleman.” The matm u.' is, truly, a
pretty sight to see. -llu is clad in full
Spanish ball-room nine of the
olden time—a blue satm jacket, vest,
and small clothes, richly trimmed
with (spangles, a daintily-laced hand
kerchief in either jacket |rocket, pink
silk stockings, varnished pumps, a
pork-pie hat with a rosette in it, and
his hair in a net. This trim spark
has to face the mighty boll alon-.
The beast, flecked with blood and
foam* his eyes blood-shot, his nostrils
giving out jets of steam, confronts
18 him, savagely pawing the dust of the
bull ring. For his sole weapon, the
matador has a lithe-hladed Toledo
rapier, and over one ann he carries
a short, scarlet cloak as a blind or
hire. He must- not attack the bull.
He must await the onslaught. The
brute must rash on his sword’s point,
and be done to death then and there,
or it will go hard with the matador,
If he miss his thrust^-if he fail to
strike the ball at the precise poiut of
vantage, so as to transfix the animal
through the lungs or the heart—his
life is not worth a maravedi’s pur
chase. Needless to say that the
business of a matador requires the
possession of the utmost courage,

Illustrated. 8vo, Paper, 50 cents;

has no living superior in the ait of
constructing a story. In his own
domain lie stands alone without a
rival. He holds that “ the main ele
ment in the attraction of all stories is
the interest of eurioeity^and the ex
citement of surprise.” Other writers
had discovered this before Collins;
but, recognizing the clumsiness of the
contrivances in use by inferior au
thors, he essays, by artistic and con
scientious use of the same materials
and similar devices, to captivate his
readers.—N. Y. Evening Post.
