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.” A forger in the custody of as officer jumped from a rapidly moving rail road train near Fort Wayne, Iinl., a few day's ago.

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.

The case will not again be heard until some time after tho 10th of November, tho exact time to bo agreed on hereafter, with tlie express understanding and agreement that no other requisition will be made or new charge preferred during the pending of the present proceedings before Judge Hurni pbreys.

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.

His lecture may be described as a lmmonv. . essay on Southern humor illustrated by living examples. Of these the life and adventures of Captain Simon Suggs, of the Tallapoosa volunteers, constitutes the larger portion; but his [Kirtrayal of the simple Georgia youth, Joseph Jones, of Pinevil!o, was equally natural and effective, whilst less technical and more com prehensible than the exploits of .Hooper’s philosophic gamester. The conceits of the howling raccoon of the mountains, and the fighter from Bitter Creek, the confusion of the witness who had stooped in the gym- son weeds to “ mark the bowers,” the description of the Southern swash-buckler, who wore a Panama hat, a ruffled shirt and six shooter, taking each day for his morning re past a simple Kentucky breakfiist, “ three cocktails ’and a chaw of terbneker,” were thrown off in a care less vein that took the house im mensely. Mr. Watterson divided American humor into two classes, that which relates to money and that which relates to fighting ; put our colloquial above our written ’humor in point of merit; denied that jokes, like women, grow better as they grow older, declaring that good humor applies itself to prevai’iig conditions with surprising freshiuss and variety.
