The Augusta Chronicle and Con stitutionalist vt-rvappropriately terms 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 he re-elected to the United Stales Senate, ihat he is too erratic. Well, well, how the mighty have fallen. The cotton receipts in Athens are steadily on the increase, And bid' feir to be larger than any previous year. The Russians end 'Turks are still pegging away, though approaching winttf lengthens , the intervals be tween their bloody engagements. 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. th« part ot the people of that county, 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 The Yellow fever still prevail? at Pert Royal, with ho abatement as yet. The. authorities jiafft.,petitioned aid for these sufferers from New York city.. An arbitration has been agreed upon between the strikers aud En glish ship-builders. It seems to have, produced satisfaction on both sides and from it the labor question in'this country may find a happy solution. M. Gambotta makes another tell ing address to tha French people, which stirs anew his avowed and en thu&iastic tollowers aud makes the political condition of affairs in that country still more un'£?tnin and un settled. mmm 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. Ohio Democratic. 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.

JAMES A. GRAY & CO. 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 will be well. ‘ .. ., '..■■■ ' -.T" ; 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. The, .State. Fair, will ope/i io ; the city of Atlaiita on Monday* the 15th inst. ; The Fair promisdi to be an interesting and enjoyable occasion 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.
