The lighting-in Hie mountain passes has been desperate and bbxiy, and many thousands were killed on Ijyrti. sides. Nicsic, a Turkish stronghold, has capitulated, which will.give the Russian army rt great advantage in future operations On Sunday morning hist the' Russians stormed and captured Plevna* ;ut important point* the Turks’retreating in great disorder. The Turks gained several victories of minor importance. Horrid atrocities are being committed upon the inhabitants-by botharmies. The Pennsylvania dispatches raise appre hension of.a-combined strike between the col liers and the railroad .men tr> take place on tile loth instant. A Scranton telegram re ports 5,000 men belonging to secret societies drilling with weapons in preparation for a trial of conclusions with the civil and milita-. ry authorities, it is not often that riots are! tin; result of premeditation and preparation: j ami we don’t doubt these people will coine to ! a* Let ter mind before the time for the riot arrives: Gun. llmv uti> is losing caste at Washing- ] ton. Joseph is leading him a regular wild I goose chase, only stopping occasionally to lift ft’few scalps, Howard admits that he knows j nothing about Indian warfare. Crazy Horse, : one of the. Indian leaders, died last week from Wounds received while attempting to c cape front the guard-house. John Taylor, President of the Twelve Mormon Apostles and acting President of the Mormon church, will retain that position un til anew President is elected. lie was - shot at Nuuvoo at the‘time Joseph Smith was killed,.and is a bitter Mormon. Th ithk cheers and a tiger for the Golden Stale! The Democrat*! this week secured the -Legislature, which will give- us another Dem ocratic Senator in 1878,and elected their State officers. San Francisco also elected Demo* crajic city and county Officers. The Republicans carried Maine this week Ilv greatly reduced majorities over hist year. This State has ever- been a Republican strong bold, and the Democrats have cause to con gratulate themselves on reducing majorities. Y ki.low fever has made its appearance in Fernandino, Fla., and ilie citizens are de serting the place by hundreds. No report of the disease in other seaooast cities. Ttit! army worm is devastating cotton in portions of Tennessee. Many fields look as though a fire had passed through them. OUR NEXT SENATOR. Whether wisely or unwisely, it is the settled policy of this district to pursue t4ie Rotation System in the selection of our Senators. When the lion. Rob’t tlester was nominated, there was some confusion us to which county was entitled to the candidate, but it was conceded on the occasion- to Elbert. After the expi ration of his term* the nomination and election of the lion. E. 11. Bullock gave Madison comity her turn, and it was then generally understood and acquiesced in that the next Senator should come from ©glethorpo- It will be remembered that the lion. Samuel Lumpkin, whose name had been twice presented by the Ogle* fihorpe delegation, declined to become a candidate against Judge Bullock, and thus entire harmony was restored in Uie district. We heard quite - a number of leading and respectable gentlemen from all three of the counties express the opinion that in future there, would be no necessity for a district convention, but the county entitled would put forward her candidate, and he would be supported by the entire district. Clearly, we think, our county is now entitled to the Senator. Mr. Bullock’s term, it is true, lias been reduced* if the now Constitution is ratified, but so have the-terms of the Judges of the Supreme and Superior Courts, and of the members of the House. It is not an unexpired ternu It is the end of his official term, and the people of Oglethorpe are in no way responsible for it. It was the act of the sovereign people of Georgia in con vention assembled. The loss, if it be so regarded, must fall on-Mr. Bullock and on Madison county, just as the losses fall on other officers throughout the State. Again v the term- of Senators has been reduced to two years aud to one session. Judge Bullock has served one full ses sion* His successor will serve but one, and therefore, to give another terra to Madison couuty would be equivalent to allowing her two terms to Elbert and ©glethorpa’s one each. We feel sure that a very large number of men iu Madison county itself will re cognize aud admit the justice of this claim, and that the people of Elbert- will view it in the same light- that we do. There seems to be an impression in the minds of a few that Oglethorpe seeks to antagonize the other two counties iu the district. This is a mistake. We only seek justice aud fairness, aud we believe the good men of the entire district will give it to us* In the late election for delegates to the Convention, the Jlon. W. W. Scott of Madison county ran ahead of our own members in ihm county. Iu regard to the two candidates from El bert* a rumor was largely circulated that Elbert sought to ruu in two men, and litis caused- their names to bedropped by a number of our voters. How that rumor originated, wo do not know. We did not believe it ourselves, but others did, and there was not time left to correct it. Hon. W. H, Mattox, we kuow, under stood it, and was not offended. We as sure the people of the district that our geople are willing aud desirous of doing right.. It is likely that our county will put as a candidate for Senator a gentleman whom all can unite in sup porting.. We hope that, all differences in the past will be buried and forgotten, aud that in the future the utmost har mony and good feelings will prevail. would be glad te have the Elber fon.
