The Augusta Chronicle and Con

Gambelta the Toombs of France.
Geo. Bob Toombs is in New York,
and his utterances seem to find es
pecial favor with the New York &im,
the hot-headed denunciator of Hayes,
his administration, his cabinet, his
policy and all that pertains to the
presidency. General Toombs informs
the Sun that General Gordon cannot

well, how the mighty have fallen.

Senator H. 0. McDaniel, ot Mon-
l oe,. Wallen county,, js a candidate a
tor re-election to represent the 27tli
district in the next Senate of Geor
gia. Major McDaniel has proven
liimsei*' one of the ablest legislators
the Suite has ever had in her General
Assemblies, and he certainly deserves
to he re-elected. So far as wc have
learned, there will l.e no organized
opposUimt to bis return to the Senate.
Mr. H. Greug Wright, of the
Augusta Chronicle and Constitution-
alisty t» suggi sled as tore of the rep-
' ri«»'Ui»livcs from Richmond county
in the next House of Representatives.
This would bo an admirable choiceVm.

and believing that Mr. Wright
Would wield an influence in the legis;
iaiiire commensurate with that he
exercises through his ably edited
journal, it would bo a good choice for
the whole State.
The New York Herald says that if
Ross Tweed and John Kelly had lived
mation comes truin' Washington that
the President’s message to Congress
will anticipate no other business than
that for which it was calh-d together.
Be this as it may, certainly no more
important session of Congress was
ever held. Questions involving the
gravest interest to the whole
country will engage the attention
of the members, especially the
Southern members. The appropria
tion to the army will develope a
movement for the increase of the
army, which it is thought will bejp
augurated by a combination com
posed of Railroad magnates and polit
ical leaders. This movement is
in-ligated by the recent strikes
throughout the North which have,
and do, so directly concent the rail
road and political powers of that
section, and will eventuate in bringing
directly to the attention of Congress,
the labor question, the dealing with
which, will require an Amount of
cool judgment, wise deliberation and
statesmanlike ability, not so abundant,
lv manilested in the legislation of tiie
past few years. This will indeed be
momentous quest on, and one,
while Congress cannot'avoid its con
sideration, involving the most deli
cate points of government. Upon the
solution, the wise disposition of the
labor problem rests in no inconsider
able degree the very safety of our
institutions. Congress, especially
when its past history demonstrates
the great influence, which the inter*
ested monied powers of the country,
aided by designing and corrupt po
litical leaders, have had over its
legislation, and more especially at
this juctnre, when the action of Con
gress upon this question will enlist
the r more determined efforts, cannot
afford to disregard tiiose principles
so embodied iu our republican form
of government, and which must restrain
the general government in disposing
of those matters which belong direct
ly to the local or State governments.
Still, -when we reflect that under
the present disturbed condition of the
country, there are 1,000,000 of ttidn
in the United States idle, the loss

An arbitration has been agreed
upon between the strikers aud En

produced satisfaction on both sides
and from it the labor question in'this
country may find a happy solution.

Will the, President Become
‘ ***< Alarmed P V,,..,4 K'
The loss of Ohio to the Republicans
will no doubt make the anti-ad minis
tration Republicans double fierce
upon the President. Will this have
tue effect to alarm him and make him
less determiti'ed ;'in earrying out, that
polioy-which he has so successfully
inaugurated .arid widen iu its restora
tion of confidence is fust establishing
an era of better fueling and wanted
pro8|ierity throughout the country ?
W« believe itpl, and feel assured that
the Democrats in Congress, availing
themselves of ihat conservative ele
ment amongst the Republicans which
Will be at trTt^ lMtsy corotnaito, will
speedily inaugurate such legislation
as will give no uncertain support and
encouragement to the President,
thus securing and coutinuing the
good results which have come of the
growing desire tor a return to the
better days ot the Republican Strictly
constitutional administration of tli
government.

a few centuries ago, Tweed would
have been a renowned loader of free
booters, whose sole object was booty
and plunder; while Kelly,: who is not
«o sordid, would have been a capture r
of cities for the pride of ruling them.
The difference then between these
New Yorkers of such notorious rvpu-
lalionsi?,. that Ahe oue sought plutuk- r,
while the other figures for glory.
Without seeking to prejudice the
claim of either Atlanta cr Millcdge-
ville for the future capital of Geergia,
we would simply say in behalf of the
tax-pa^ era of the State, that it is a great
mistake to be talking abont building
a new capitol costing front one to two
millions of dollars, when the capitol
building^at either plage, is sufficiently
good for. many years to come, leav
ing the expense of erecting a capitol
building which would gratify'-the
pride of our commonwealth and
become the cynosure of the artistic
world, fir the better and more pros
porous days, which we trust are in
store for our grand old Georgia.
The people of Augusta are very
much stirred up, about the freight
discriminations practiced upon them
by the recent “ pooling convention ”
which held its session in tiie city ot
Atlanta. Athens extends her sym
pathies to her outraged friends of
Augusta.
Brothers. E. P. How-ell and E. P
Speer, of tiio Atlanta Constitution
and the Old. Capital^ have made
themselves the subjects of much
comment recently. Now,-hoys, just
quit - this foolishness and don’t do so
any more. It don’t hplp the Capital

Thu manifesto .*t the lute Ex Presi-
dent of Franee, M. Thicre, is an able
paper ami exhibits qu.te a statesman
like view of th<* political- troubles
amongst the French n.Mion. He
makes an earnest and most remnrka-
blo appeal to bis people. Tells them
that a monarchy is impossible. That
France lias been deceived and mocked
by her statesmen. He defends the
action of the last chamber of depu
ties. He pronounces France a Re
public govi rin d by Anti-Republican
ministers and says that MacMahon
must submit, and furthermore that
the French nation is mistress of her
own destines.
thereby caused to the country, at
$1 50 per day, being about $1,500,
000 each day, and $450,000,000 per
annum, coupled with the taestim*
ble amount of crime engendered
thereby; it would appear that it is
the highest ditty which Congress
owes to the country to devise some
wise. and. successful .plat) .by which tot
put these idlers to work.
Besides the above issues which will
have to be met by the present extra
or called session, is the question of the
Texas Pacific Railroad. This ques
tion particularly addresses itself to
•ur Southern representatives, sinee
the supposed benefits of this enter
prise, it is argued, largely .acme to
par Southern section. .Drift:,.ft at
least a questionable proposition, and
inasmuch as it so iinportaiitly con
cerns those po icics Qf government
which, arc essential safeguards^routid
government appropriations for inter
nal iikip.oveiuenU>, our representa
tives should weigfi well t' u question
in all its bearings before they deter
mine upon their final action.
With these mailers of. grave im
portance, aud with the disposition on
the part of the extreme Republican
leaders to antagonize the administra
tion of President Hayes, we may ex
pect an animated, interesting and
important session of Congress; one
which must iu its final results, either
promote or retard the promised
prosperity of the country.
Tho extra session of Congress con
venes on next Monday tho 15th inst.
The show business iu the South lor
the approaching winter season, bids
lair to be larger than ever before.
While these exhibitions are not in
many respects best fin- the country,
still their increase may be taken as
an evidence ot a better .financial con-
in the land. Let us only see to it
that they leave in our niiest as much
money as they carry away aud all

Moffet’s “Bell, Punchy whiskey ar
rangement, in Virginia, promises to
liquidate the public debt of that State,
through the tribute of the dram
drinkers. Moffet’s “ Muric Box ” will
make him famous, while it will make
the “ Old Doiaintou ” notorious for
having lifted its financial burdens in
such a novel way. This arrangement
it is estimated will pay off the public
debt, at the rate of a halt million dol
lars a year.

Die authorities of Atlauta together
with the officers ot the association
have spared no puins to make this
exhibition an honor to the Stole.
An unusually large crowd is expected
to be iu attendance and let all who
desire a good rime be sure and be
among the number.
The returns from the Ohio election,
while not positive, are yet sufficient
to settle the question, beyond doubt,
tliat the State has gone democratic
between fifteen aud twenty thousand
majority. The legislature will have
a majority of some thirty or forty ou
joint ballot, while Bishop (Dent.)
beats West (Rep.) tor Governor by a
majority surprising to all parlies.
This result iu Ohio must be taken by
all preqier-tliinking persons as an en
doraemeut of the President ami his
administration so tar as it establishes
an era of good feeling and a restora
tion of prosperity in the couutry,
notwilhs.unding the Blaines, the
Butlers, the Coukliugs and their fol
lowers may couut it as a loss to Mr
Hayes ot his own State, aud attempt
to turn it against him by holding it
up as a proof that his policy has dr
touted his own party even in that
Salute w htl o lie is supposed to be held
iu greatest esteem. With this view
and attempted presentation ot' the
re-suit, i the Republicans in Congress
limy become exasperated and make a
fierce fight upon the administration;
but such antagonism will prove but
passive in its effects and duration, the
ultimatum, of which will be to uuite
the conservative element of the Re
publican party with the Democrats
in the support of the President aud
his administration.
Thus, with au effective blow given
the corruptionists, aud with a grow
mg conservatism ihroughout the
couutry, such as will unitethe better
Repuhliuau elements with the De
mocracy in the support of the Presi
dent and li|s policy, we may hail the
democratic victory ta Ohio as but an
earnest of that solid support which
houest, constitutional government ?s
to receive throughout the length and
breadth of our land.
