Let Democrats Halt and Con*
eider.
The recent movements in Republic
can circles, especially in Georgia, are
indeed significant and should induce
every true Democrat in our midst to
halt and consider. The defeat vis
ited upon this party in the last Presi
dential election, and ivliich gave rise
to the electoral iraud, and the now
existing division ia the Republican
ranks, have given great uneasiness to
the party . leaders, and bestirred
them to every means and exertion
for the preservation 6f power.
What then has been their more di
rect movement, their last party strat
egy ? Unquestionably the order has
been given the Southern Republicans,
especially in Georgia, to temporarily
disband, and uniting with the Tqde-
pendents in their movement, seek to
disintegrate and break up the Demo-
cratic party of t|he Sqqjh, In proof
of this unmistakable determination
on their part, we. find . tho most
avowed and obnoxioos Radicals in
our midst, those whp have so Jong
sought to oppress and outrage our
people, in full sympathy and concert
of action, with tho Independent
movement. However well Mr. Hayes
may administer the government un
der the Constitution and tho 'laws,
nevertheless, the means by which he
acceeded to the Presidency and the
fear of such meaus being continued
to the jeopardy of our free and
Republican
Russians only succeeded in storming
the position at the third attempt.”

ILL HEADS AND LETTER
Heads done on short notice.
In the communication of Alumnus,
to the Watchnuoi, of the 30th u!t.,
in reply to the Editor pro. tern, of
the Georgian, the following para
graph appears:
‘•The College has an excellent and
most admirable corps' of Professors.
The present Chancellor, against whom
pro tem. points his attack, has had
nothing more ruinous urged against
him than his Baptist faith, and if this
lie a crime, God 1 help the people of
Georgia.” Jtiv
If ever there was an allus ion in the
Georgian, <or any other paper in
Georgia, to Dr. Tucker’s denominns
tional connection, Alumnus yvus the
only person to see or know of it, and
if such an • objection to Dr. Tucker
was ever thought of or conceived by
anyliody, we are satisfied that it ex
isted only in tho mind and wily con
ception of said Alumnus.
It is but just to ray, that while we
do not approve of the article of
Editor pro. tem., or for one moment
deem it necessary to come to his as
sistance, yet, as the above statement is
broadcast and general in its allusion,
and as the Georgian has had much
to say on the college and its manage
ment, we speak the above in our own
defense and other brother journalist,
who, holding themselves above par
tisanship or denominational consider-
tions, have sought to do their duty
by a public institution.
[armed the Amer
ican people, that the leaders
of the Republican party, now see no
safety or future hope of success ex
cept in the disruption of the Democratic
party. Democrats, it behooves you
to halt and consider well, before you
by inactivity, indisposition or otherj
wise, permit this wanton and deep
laid scheme of the Radicals to tri
umph. It behooves you equally to
discountenance all Independents or
bolters from party ranks, less in the
midst of present and prospective vic
tory, shameful and ruiuous defeat may
overtake the democracy. Can it be
possible, that old line whigs, or the
leaders of that old party, from dis
appointment, soreheadedness, uncurbed
ambition, etc., will lend their aid and
countenance to such a movement
which so seriously threatens the mate
rial interest, happiness and prosperity
of our whole country ? We are loath
so to believe, although the accusation
is brought against, certain nial-con-
tests, who formerly acted with that
honorable old party. Let Democrats
be up and doing; let them look well
to their party organization and the
true principles of their party and the
success which has heretofore been
secured unto them will be continued
and a grand victory.made sure in the
presidential election of 1880.

per week, but oftener much less.
The general average was gs/ per
week. Within the Lost month or two
she had not earned that. It could
have reached more than 2s. per week
at the outside. The deceased had
no income at all of her own, biit a
relation, a Mr. Pcrcival, allowed them
2s. per week. They had not received
anything in tho shape of food from
their friends. In June last witness
made application to • the Board of
Guardians for Mile and Old town for
some relief for her mother. She did
not want them to give her anything
for herself. They agreed to allow her
mother 2s. a week and a loaf of
bread. This was continued up to the
second week in August, when it was
discontinued. Tho guardians then
disallowed the money, but offered
to take her mother into the house.
She however positively declined to
go. Th e money was stopped. Their
total income after this would be
about 4s. per week, and thepc was
4s. per week to pay for the rent of
the room. She- had, however, been
obliged to let the rent go back for
the last three or four weeks, as she
really could not pay it. The de
ceased used to have a little beer,
generally once a day. They could not
affprd much meat. Sometimes, how
ever, they, managed to have a little

had to without that. They had to
part with their furniture and clothes
by degrees, to enable them to live.
Their last furniture went some few
