Bond will hereafter write out his opinion.

THE STATE FAIR,
From all the sources of information at hand,
has been one of the grandest affairs of the
kind ever held in the State of Georgia. Tele
grams in the daily papers give most glowing
accounts of the Fair in all its various depart
ments and phases. Many distinguished per
sons from abroad were present. Gen. Gordon
delivered the speech of welcome to the vis
itors, at 11 o’clock, A. M., on Wednesday
last. Among other things of an entirely new
and interesting character, a Grand Pyrotech
nic display was to come off on Thursday
night, under the auspices of the Confederate
Memorial Association.
The Ohio Election.
It is generally conceded by the public
prints, that Ilayes, the Radical candidate,
has been elected Governor of Ohio by a ma
jority of four or five thousand only. As to
the “ cause” and “ effect” of this sad reverse
to the Democracj*, not alone of Ohio, but of
the entire country, we “step aside” and let
wiser and older heads give explanation :
Tiie Democratic Defeat in Ohio. —The
Nashville American , an able and earnest op
ponent of the money monopolists, closes an
editorial on the result of the Ohio election
with the following paragraph :
“It may be that Governor Hayes has
been elected. If so, it has been by a small
majority. If so, it has been by superhuman
efforts of the Radical party of Ohio, of the
Radidal party of Pennsylvania, of the Grant
administration, of the Radical party of every
State in the Union and Democratic party
of New York and Massachusetts. Governor
Allen and the Democracy of Ohio have
made a gallant fight against overwhelming
odds. They have met Wellington and Blu
cher and yet they have met no Waterloo.
The money and the exertions which the
[money power has expended in Ohio, cannot
be repeated in every State of the Union.
There is a limit to such expenditures. But
there is no limit to the Democratic energy
with which the people of every State in the
Union will resist the aggressions of bank
monopolists and money contraction ists.
Wall street has poured out its gold; the
bondholders have sent their missionaries
into the most benighted regions of Ohio. If
they have triumphed the}* have not conquer
ed. The same battle is to be fought over in
Pennsylvania. The mono}* which has been
spent in Ohio cannot be again spent in Penn
sylvania. Let not the Detnocacv be dis
couraged. Let them rise up. They fight
the people’s battle, and must ultimately
prevail.
Ohio Lost!—- We will not attempt to con
ceal the fact that we are disappointed and
somewhat alarmed by the result of the elec
tion in this State. But we knew that the
Republican party was making a gitantic ef
fort, to recover it, and that all the advantage
which money could give was greatly on their
side. Had Gov. Allen triumphed, it would
have been over extraordinary difficulties and
influences. We had so much confidence in
the strengt h of the cause which he represen
ted, that we did with some confidence count
on its success. As it is, our Democratic
friends have made a very stout fight in Ohio,
and their loss of the State by so small a ma
jority this year affords no evidence that the
Radicals will carry it next year, when their
exertions and money cannot be concentrated
on a single State. A majority of eight or
ten thousand in a vote of five hundred
thousand is by no means large or decisive.
When we can present in a more tangible
form than we now can exhibit, the extraordi
nary difficulties which the Democrats of Ohio
had to fight in this campaign, it will be very
clearly seen that they have a cause strong
with the people , and that the latter are likely
to rise with renewed strength for another
conflict after this reverse.— Columbus En
quirer.
The Queer.
A WARNING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ANY MONEY.
Some antique party announced that there
is no rose without its thorn, and no good
thing without a leaven of bad is the general
conclusion drawn from the poetic figure. As
we all “passed right upon the inside*’ of the
late circus and enjoyed the good things—ele
phants, trained dogs, trained babies, reserved
seats and all !—we are admonished to look
out for the bitter which surely accompanies
the pleasures.
It appears that immediately after the pres
ence of the circus elsewhere, the city that
had been honored suddenly found itself '‘in
flated’’ with any amount of ‘'rag money,” of
the shape and quality commonly called “the
queer,’’ in other words, Counterfeit Mon
ey is reported to be among the things dealt
out by some, of the attaches or followers of
the show. The appearance of such money
in Memphis is traced to the opera
tions of circus men in that city, and our peo
ple in Atlanta should carefully watch the
money they handle for some time to come,
as not only the city, but most certainly the
rural districts, will be inflated with the spu
rious money. The bills set afloat are said to
be counterfeits upon the following banks:
First National, Lockport. N. Y., $10; Tra
ders'. Chicago, $5 ; Third National, Chicago,
$5 : Merchants’, Chicago. $5 ; First National,
Philadelphia. $10; Ninth National, N. Y.,
$2; First National. Canton, 111., $5; First
National, Paxton, 111.. $5 ; City Bauk, Pough
keepsie, New York, $lO ; First National. Red
Hook, X. Y. city, $100; Central, Rome, N.
Y., $lO.
Our readers cannot be too careful in re
ceiving bills tallying with the above descrip
tions . — At. Constitution.
CJPThe Augusta Chronicle compiles from
a recent work issued by the bureau of statis
tics, the average prices of factory labor in
the northern and southern states. The
figures show that there is a difference of
twelve per cent, in favor of the southern
mills—a very heavy difference in manufac
turing, in which the labor account is the
most important item of expenditures.
IdPln consequence of the omission in the
last general tax act of the usual words “for
each* performance,” the Attorney General
has decided that any minstrel company,
upon the payment of twenty-five dollars are
entitled to an annual license allowing them
to play in the county any number of times
during the year.— At. Const.

Mulberry Association.
The above named body convened with the
church at Walnut Fork, on Saturday, Oct.
16th. The introductory sermon was preach
ed by Elder G. L. Bagwell, from 6th chapter
of Matthew, 23d verse : “ If, therefore, the
light that is in thee be darkness, how great is
that darkness?” The sermon was sound —
advice good, and the propriety of men and
women professing religion, demeaning them
selves properly, was ably discussed.
Elder J. M. Davis was elected Moderator,
and W. A. Cain, Clerk. The usual business
ithe Association was transacted harmoni
sl v, and a spirit of union characterized the
entire session.
On Sunday, at 10 o’clock, the writer occu
pied the stand. At 11 o’clock, Elder J. M.
Davis preached a Missionary sermon to a
large and attentive congregation. We do not
remember having seen better order observed
bv so large a congregation, which speaks well
for our friends of old Jackson. During an
intermission, all participated liberally of the
hospitality of the church and vicinity, after
which Elder Hartwell Jackson preached a
sermon, scriptually true, such as generally
characterizes that old father in Israel.
The Association convened again on Mon
day. Prayer by Elder W. 11. Bridges. The
business was resumed and finished with the
same degree of pleasantness as on Saturday
before. After an affectionate address by the
Moderator, prayer by Elder Hartwell Jack
son. and a hearty shaking hands, the meeting
adjourned with brotherly love and affection.
The kindness and hospitality shown the
members of the body while in session, speaks
in terms of praise of the church at the Wal
nut and vicinity.
The next session of this body will be held
with the church at Alcova, Gwinnett county,
5 miles East of Lawrencevillc, on Saturday
before the Ist Sabbath in October next.

A Grand Georgia Enterprise—the Great
Events of the Coming Year.
No man or family should be without a
newspaper. It is the most intelligent and
entertaining visitor to any household, and is
the best of all educators. Besides this ad
mitted fact, there are now additional reasons
for subscribing to a good newspaper. Per
haps no year of the last half century furnish
ed a greater combination of Important and
Thrilling events than will the year approach
ing. The Presidential contest, the Guber
natorial election, the Centennial and other
Great Events transpire.
As in the past, so in the future, the Atlanta
Constitution, published at the Capital of the
State, will be foremost in the Chronicling of
all News, Political, Commercial, Agricultural,
Religions, of Legislatures and Conventions.
A Democratic Journal, it is independent of
all Political or Personal influences, and is
Free to devote itself to the best interests of
the people of Georgia and the South. It is
accepted through the Union as the represent
ative paper of-the State. The Constitution
is known as The People’s Paper. It has at
i tained a prosperity as such second to no pa
per in the South. Asa Family Journal,
! containing Political and Literary Reading,
| General News, Stories, Poetry. Humor, and
| Political Information, it is popular in many
! States. Additional features of interest have
! been lately added, making it a still more
! welcome visitor to every home.
The Constitution, having been the means
of opening up North Georgia to the people
of this country as never before done, is now
organizing the Expedition for the Explora
tion of the Great Okefenokee Swamp, the
terra incognita of Georgia. Several months
will be devoted to the work, which will be of
service to the State, and mark an era in its
history. Subscriptions should be made at
once to secure full reports of this Expedition,
which will furnish most valuable information
and rich adventures.
A marked feature of the Constitution will be
its Department of Humorous Reading, origi
nal and selected. No pains will be spared
to equal in this respect to any newspaper in
the country. In fine, the Grave, the Gay,
the Useful and the Entertaining will be pre
sented to its readers. Upon a basis of as
sured prosperity, it will be able to fulty exe
cute all its undertakings.
The Daily Constitution is furnished, post
age paid. at $10,60, $5,30 for six months;
$2,65 for three months ; SI,OO for one month.
The Weekly Constitution, made up from
the Daily, is a Mammoth Sheet of FORTY

IJpThe Columbus Enquirer tells the fol
lowing story of a surgical operation :
A tailor in Columbus has rooms in an up
per story, the windows of which open on a
court yard. One day they were open. A
chicken flew in. He of the shears had no
one to halve his fortunes, he wanted a pet,
was not able to keep a wife, and hence adopt
ed the youthful chanticleer. The chicken was
tied to a table, and soon became very gentle.
Though at liberty, it refused to leave the
room, and fed from the hands of his master,
lit on his shoulder and performed many ami
able tricks suitable to fowl nature. The days
went on. Chicken became sick. Had been
eating too many oats, lay on the floor, and
seemed to be giving up the ghost and ending
a life in pleasant places. Our tailor resolved
on a surgical operation on his own hook, as
a last resort. With his shears he cut open
the stomach of that bird, and having done so,
washed out the craw with warm water (he
found the indigestible oats), sewed up the
wound, and observed the result. Chicken
began to revive. Tailor handed him corn.
Fowl partook of it with wonderful gusto, and
refreshing itself with water, crowed as lively
as if nothing had happened.
USPMr. James U. Vincent, who was recent
ly married to Miss Louise Gabrielle St}des,
will probably be connected hereafter with the
Albany Neics. Mr. Vincent is a pleasing and
vigorous writer, and will add (if that is possi
ble) to the merit of that journal.
Said a distinguished politician to hie son ;
“ Look at me ! I began as an alderman, aud
here 1 am at the top of the tree, aud what is
my reward ? Why, when I die, my eon will
be the greatest rascal in the city.” To this
the young hopeful replied ; “Yes. dad, wheu
you die—but not till then.”
BP The Supreme Court of Georgia, on
Tuesday, reversed the decison of the Superior
Court in the case of Whittle vs. Webster,
from Muscogee. This was an action
brought by plaintiff to recover damages al
leged to have been sustained to his goods
by the leaky condition of a store rented
from defendant. The Superior Court Judge
charged the jury that “if the house rented
was subject to leakage from rain at the time
rented, and being thus subject to leakage,
and the goods of the plaintiff were damaged
from leakage to which it was subject at the
time rented, the defendant is not liable for
such damage to the plaintiff's goods. It is
the duty of the landlord to put such repairs
on the rented premises as will keep them in
the condition they were when rented, thus
much and no more, and a landlord does not
insure against leakage and damage there
from to the tenant,” The Supreme Court
decides that this charge was erroneous,
holding that “if the tenant pays the landlord
a fair and reasonable rent for the store house
rented, as being suitable for the purpose for
which he rented it, he is entitled to have it
kept in repair by the landlord for that pur
pose under the provision of our Code.”—Co
lumbus Enquirer.
BP The Griffin News is not so compli
mentary to the “press gang” of Georgia as
some of them are of themselves and their
favorites. It says : “While it may be true that
the Georgia press has no “trained journal
ist,” there is one thing certain, that in many
respects it has more trained damphools than
any other State, and can get up the biggest
smoke from the least fire of any crowd liv
ing. We want to hitch them all four-a-breast
at the Macon Fair, and have Jennings Clay
to trot the cussed foolishness out of them, so
that they can come square down to work.”
A Texas judge is credited with the follow
ing neat descision ; “The fact is, Jones, the
jail is an old rickety affair, as cold as an iron
wedge. You applied to this court for release
on bail, giving it as your opinion that you
would freeze to death there. The weather
has not moderated, and to keep you from
freezing I will direct the sheriff to hang you
at 4 oclock this afternoon.”
“Papa, did you see those nice little guns
down to the store ?” asked a little six-year
old boy. “Yes, Harry, I saw them. But I
have so many children to feed and clothe
that I cannot afford to buy j t ou one,” replied
his father, seriously. Little Harry glanced
at the baby in the cradle with no loving ex
pression on his face. Finally he said, “Well,
papa, I’ll tell j’ou what you can do ; you can
swap little Tommy for a gun.”
