Forty two Representatives in Con
gress, Oregon 1, Vermont 3, Mail e
5, Ohio 20, anil Indiana 13. The
representatives from those States
now are, Greenbacks 4, Democrats
18, and Republican 20. In the nest
House they will have 2 Greenback
era, 11 Democrats, and 2 Republi
cans—a loss of 4 Grccnbackers, 7
Democrats and a gain of 11 republi
cans.
’Without making any comparison
between Col. Bussey and other gen
tlemen who may be candidates we
feel warranted in stating that a hu g*
majority of the people of this cir
cuit would prefer bis election to am
other person, because he. Las been
tried and found worthy and well
qualified. To exchange ono good of
cerfor another, even equally as good,
would be of no benefit to tho State.
But to exchange ono who is known
to be proved, is neither wise nor cx
pedient.
Let us look things squarely in tin
face. It is folly to do otherwise. —
Whatever of success Georgians can
add to the democratic presidential
campaign, must be secured in Geor
gia, and not in Noithem Stales.—
Already the Republicans have gain
id 11 members in congress m five
States, an 1 if the rcpoits from the
first district arc reliable, Col. Black,
ibo Democratic nominee, will ha ve'a
most hvjtly contested, if not a defeat
ed, campaign. We know Col. Black
well, and know him to bo true to al
the higher characteristics of a gen -
tleman, citizen and statesman. It
would bo too bad for that noble,
aceomplisled and patriotic gentle
man to bo defeated.
In the second district, also, the ie.
publicans are centering their ener
gies and money in Georgia. lion. H
G Turner, in that district, is lighting
valiantly, not so much for his election,
as for the triumph of the democracy.
The democrats .of those districts
should bring every resource to play
and their brethren intheStato should
exert an eloquent and power
la 1 influence ior the success of 1
the democracy in every district o
Georgia. For every democratic log
in congress, there will be a corres
ponding gain given to the Republi
cans in Congress.

Election Of Judical Officers
One of the most important duties
devolving upon'the next session of
tke Legislature is the (lotion of ju -
dical officers.
Good laws are essential to the
welfare of lhe State, but good laws
will not avail to punish or prevent
crime unless they arc fathfally ad
ministered. As much depends upon
the Judge and Solicior General in en
forcing as upon the Legislature in
making laws.
In the election of Judical officers
the members of tiie Lcislaturc should
enquro into the ability and fidelity of
of the candidate and vote for those
whose past record gives t h ■ b ■ t as
surance of future efficiency. In this
connection wc are pleased to give
notice that Col. 11. Bussey who has
filled tiro office of Solicitor-Gem ra
of tiie Chattahoochee Circuit for the
past term is a candidate tor chciion,
The state ol Georgia has no mort
faithful and efficient prosecuting of
ficer than Colonel Bussey lias been.
Since his election he has applied
himself dilligentiy to the duty ot
criminal law, and has eucceded in
making himself one of the best
criminal lawyers in tho state. But
Col. Bussey is not only a good crim
inal lawyer lie is a fai lifui and ze.-d
ous proseci tor. He emphatically
represents the State in ad criminal
Casas, and when a person is indict
ed in this circuit lie knows that he
will Do prosecuted ably and vigorous
ly,”
Tiie above we clip from the Colum
bus Times, We fully ondorse the
principles and truths set forth in it.
The personal reference to Col. Bus
ey as an administrative officer is not
more complimentary than his pa t
services merit. Without siding with
him or against anyone, we will say
‘well enough, 5 ’ is an adage we would
do well to heed at ali times, So far
i'S our people are concerned we are
satisfied lhey are not only pleased
"ith Cjl. Bussey, but liis re-election
is preferred by a largo majority of
them,

. iniroad,th:if in their petition for

j I.) build a road from liawkiiisvillo
•via Montezuma, Oglethorpe nml

would give give that road a lino
into the heart of tiio cotton bolt
of Southwest Georg'a, besides
opening up the timber lands of
Minion and other counties. ,-lt
Columbus . they would reach a
market where 10.>,000 bales of
cotton tiro now received, biggest

being an i nmenso grocery mar
ket. Wo believe that a largo sub

the proposed line.
I' ii bfa a-a oin air lino to

country for the most part level
and timber cheap. Allowing 10
miles for curves and wo have 100
miles. From Ilawkinsville to Sa

wick and Atlantic & Gulf rail
roads is 10S miles. This makes 2CS
miles from Columbus to Savannah
over the proposed route, while it
is now by the Central railroad 292
miles, thus showing a saving of
-I miles by the Z/awkinsville
route, aud a lino to Biunswiek on
