-“Augusta wants the State Fair this year.
—The Mu/lisonian and Southron have uni

T. A. Burke, of Athens, well known
to many of our citizens, is dead.
Augusta had a large fire last week. Over
fifteen hundred bales of cotton were burnt.
—Senator Lamar, of Mississippi, has been
stricken with paralysis, at his home in that
State.
—A wlmle strayed into the Charleston
harbor last. week. After a prolonged strug

—We are trying to keep our eyes on Con

—*Wltat has become of the Clement attach

it in some ti ne. Itit up for repairs?
—Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague is assisting E.
S. Hamlin in the preparation of a biography
of the late Chief Justice Chase, her father.
—Maine is still in a muddle. Sue has two

possible that the matter will he settled with

amount of property has been destroyed.
—There is no doubt, but whst Col. Price
intends to build Iho Gainesville and Dah

should it not be extended to Jefferson ? We
s-m no great obstacle in the way.
—The new Constitution of the State of
California went into effect on New Year’s
])av. It had not, been in operation over half
a day when it was discovered that, under its
•provisions; nobody could be married, as it
made no arrangements for sucli events. The
r
■ -question is,. what will the California man do
who wants a wife ?
—The North Georgian will please note the
fact that we are not only friendly' to the
Teachers Institute of this county, but in full
sympathy with all of its acts and doings,
especially' in regard to its desire to establish
an educational journal in this State, and we
shall give them all the assistance in our pow
er. What we sai 1 wceiv before last was meant
•only as pleasantry and nothing more. If we
*k now ourselves, we are far indeed from cast
ing reflections upon such a worthy institu-
Afoa.
—Gov. Colquitt has at last succeeded in
the ieusing of the Macon & Brunswick Rail-
Toad. It was bid off by Mr. Jas. M.Couper,
•of Brunswick, for $104,000 a year. The bid
ding was lively and exciting. Tne price paid
is considered to De very fair under the cir
cumstances. Mr. Paine, who bid it off be
fore, notified the crowd that his company
would contest in the Courts their right to
control it under their bid at the former let
ting, which was declared by Gov. Colquitt to
be illegal. The road will be extended to
Atlanta at an early day ; by wiiat route is
not yet known. Mr. Couper represents a
company of New York and English capi
talists.
Census Supervisors.
A Rj>eeial dispatch to the Atlanta Constitu
tion says :
“ A tt-he cabinet meeting today Gen. Walker
submitted the following names lbr the census
m’ Georgia :
First district—Rev. T. J. Simmons, of
Reshca.
Second district—W. 11. McWhorter, of
'Green county.
Third district—W. A. Harris, of Worth
county.
Fourth district—Charles Johnson, of
Griffin.
Fifth district—William Clifton, of Savan
nah.”
While these names have only been sub
mitted to the president, and will have to be
approved by him and confirmed bj- the senate,
yet it is highly probable that this settles the
matter as to Georgia's supervisors.
Mr. Simmons is a local Methodist preacher,
is a republican, and it is stated was strongly
•supported by Dr. Felton and others for the
j*osition.
The first district includes the counties of
Hartow, Cotoosa, Chattooga, Cherokee, Cobb,
Dade, Dawson, DeKalb, Fannin, Floyd,
Forsyth, Fulton, Gilmer, Gordon, Gwinnett,
Jlaborsham, Hall, Ilarralson, Lumpkin,
.Milton* Murray, Paulding, Pickens. Polk,
9tahun. Towns, Union, Walker, White and
%V bitfield.
Mr. 11. McWhorter, of Green county, is a
•Lrothcr of lion. 11. L. McWhorter, and a
prominent Republican. Mr. William Clifton,
•of Savannah, is a lawyer by profession and
a Democrat. Mr. Charles R. Johnson, of
Gridin, is a lawyer and a Republican. Mr.
. A. Harris, of Worth county, is well and
favoraMy known and is a Democrat.
The compensation of supervisors is fixed
at SSOO. 'l'lie supervisors will appoint the
enumerators, who will be paid $4 a day. The
work of tile enumerators is to last only lour
weeks, as a maximum, in the county, and
only two weeks in cities having over 10,000
inhabitants.
Answer This.
Did you ever know any person to be ill,
without, inaction of the Stomach, Liver or
kidneys, or did you ever know one who was
well when either was ohstruted or inactive :
and did you ever know or hear of any case of
the kmd that llop Bitters would not cure ?
Ask your neighbor this same question.
F.ULWAY MOVEMENTS.
The late railroad movements in this and
the adjoining States have been exceedingly
interesting and of vast importance to our
people, 'flie first, after the failure to lease
the Macon & Brunswick road, was the dis
! closure of the fact that Col. Cole, of the Nash
ville & Chattanooga road, had bought a con
trolling interest in the lease of the State road,
thus giving him a continuous line from Nash
ville to Atlanta, and cutting out all rival
roads to Atlanta. This move was check
mated by the Louisville & Nashville road
(who desired to connect with Atlanta) buying
the charter and roa 1-bed of the Georgia Wes
tern, which, when completed, is to run from
Atlanta to Decatur, Ala.
The building of this road would give the
Louisville & Nashville road a continuous line
of its own from Louisville, Ivy., to Atlanta.
The next move was the announcement that
Col. Colo and Ex-Gov. Brown, of the State
road, had leased the Georgia Central, the
largest railroad corporation in the State, for
a term of years. This gave Cole a continu
ous line from Savannah, Ga., to Nashville,
Tenn., and, by' building a short gap, a con
tinuous line from St. Louis to Savannah,
making it the longest and most important
trunk line in the South, which would place
them in direct competition with the great
Northern trunk lines for Western freight.
It was considered that this combination
would bring untold prosperity to Georgia,
and especially Savannah, the terminus of this
end of the line. So that all hands were jubi
lant over the matter; nothing was lacking
except for Cole to get the consent of his Di
rectors to the lease, which had been assured
him before the contract was made, when the
whole matter was upset by the announce
ment that the Louisville & Nashville road
had bought up a majority' of the stock of
Cole's roa !, and had thus frustrated all of his
plans. Whether they will pursue his policy
further is not at present known. Now tiie
whole affair is mixed, and vve suppose none
of the roads have settled upon any definite
policy or plan.
Washington Letter.
[From our regular Correspondent.]
Washington, I). C.. Jan. 19th, 1380.
Despite the earnest desire of tiie Democrats
to expedite the business of Congress and to
have done with it in time for an early ad
journment, there are evidence of “breakers”
ahead that may set all calculations at naught.
It is understood that the Appropriation com
mittee have so perfected their plans as to be
in a position to put all the regular biiD
through in an unusually short time. A mem
ber of the committee said yesterday that so
lar as the appropriations were concerned they
could be passed within a month. But there
are numerous out-croppings of a prolonged
financial debate in both houses, as well as
of other stormy discussions, the end of which
cannot be foreseen. In view of these mani
festations, the general political situation and
the well known proclivites of Congressmen,
Ido not think the desire of the Democrats
for a short session can be realized.
There is a growing feeling among the more
thoughtful and far-sighted Congressmen in
favor of some legislation on the subject of
counting tiie electoral vote. And it does
not require a remarkable foresight to discover
that some action in that direction would be
most wise. All the signs of the times point
to a contest unprecedented in bitterness and
resulting perhaps ia no end of complications.
It is clear that the radical party will not give
up control of the upon a simple
expression of the will of the people against
them, if it can be held by hook or crook, or
by the commission of any' sort of desperate
political crimes. True, a Democratic Con
gress counts the vote this time, but will not
the Republicans claim, as they did before the
Electoral Commission was created in the last
contest, that the President of the Senate has
the sole right to count the vote, and thus
precipitate a deadly struggle. Schuyler Col
fax—there are people that remember who he
is—had an article in a late number of the
Philadelphia Times, the sole object of which
seemed to be to point out the power of the
President of the Senate in making the count.
Y r ice Presi lent Wheeler would in that case
assume to count in the radical candidate.
A bill has been reported which is perhaps
as fair as anything that could be passed. It
provides that the two houses shall meet in
joint convention under the same conditions
as heretofore, and that all the certificates or
papers purporting to lie certificates shall be
opened by the President of the Senate, and
that in case where there is a controversy,
botn houses must concur in determining
the result. Under the old twenty-second
joint rule adopted by the Republicans to ena
ble them to throw out the vote of the recon
structed States, and repealed by them in the
Senate in 187 G, when they feared the Dem
ocrats might use it to reject Louisiana, the
practice was that “ no vote objected to shall
be counted except by the concurrent vote of
the two houses.” In the present bill the vote
of a State must be counted uniess rejected
by both houses, and the decision of a State
court in the case of a disputed election is to
stand unless reversed by both houses. This
accords substantial y with the measures so
long, ably and persistently advocated in the
Senate by the late Senator Morton.
The feeling here in reference to the situa
tion in Maine goes far to create a desire to
have everything plainly defined in relation
to the Presidential question. The course of
the radical party in that State is an illustra
tion of the means they will resort to to re
tain power. Before the election last fall,
defeat of the lllaine cqowcd seemd certain
from every view, but seeing this they flooded
the State with money and prevented a choice
of government by unblushing and wholesale
bribery and bulldozing. Then, when the go
vernor and council, by a strict construction
of the laws, upset them and took away the
fruit of their rascality, they again resort to
the most despicable tactics to prevent a quo
rum of the legislature. The man who offered
a half dozen bribes and actually paid the
money in two, says the charge is a put up
job. Aside from the overwhelming evidence
produced, there is one corroborating circum
stance stronger than anything else. The
Maine dispatches to radical papers two days
before the legislature met, and before the
bribery was publicly exposed, gives the names
of Swan and llarriuian as two of the . ounU-1
in members who wounld refuse to serve.
Evidently the leaders then thought their
bribes had been taken in good faith. Tie
course of Gov. Garcelon was a refreshing
display of Democratic back-bone rarely seen
now-a-days. The so-called decision of* the
supreme court was a simple opinion, that
bore internal evidence of having been made
to order and paid for. If the court now un
dertakes to give a legal existence to Blaine
and Hale’s rump, it will not have the small
est foundation of law or precedent upon
which to do it. and the only possible conclu
sion must be that the judges are owned by
Slippery Jim.
Ohio recently came to the front again in
the matter of a presidential appointment—
this time t > furnish a postmaster for the na
tional capital. Her line, like that of Mac
beth’s shadowy visitors, promises to “stretch
out to the crack of doom.” It is substantial
however, and with a relish for the flesh-pots
of office, as it were. The appointee was a
clerk in the department, and not an old one
either, as he owns & newspaper in Michigan,
where he went not long ago from Ohio. He
is not known to a hundred citizens of Wash
ington, but they say he is a cousin or rela
tion of some sort to Mr. Hayes, and that he
was in Hayes’ regiment. Somebody asks
how large that regiment was any way. The
day before Mr.Ainger was appointed the
President told a newspaper man that he had
decided to appoint Col. Burnside, a nephew
of the Senator and the present superintendent
and disbursing officer of the department.
Colonel Burnside, however, belongs to a ri
fle club, and his gun went off by accident
Sunday, and Mrs. Hayes could never think,
never, of appointing a man who would kt his
gun go off on Sunday.
Under the name of a National Greenback
Labor Conference a mixed gathering assem
bled here last week. Female suffragists, la
bor agitators,greenbackcrs and the advocates
of all the latest wrinkles in politics, swarmed
into the conference. Dennis Kearney was
there with his workingman’s shirt and short
pipe. Mrs. Belva Lockwood, Sarah J. Spen
cer and their associates were on the ground.
Long-haired gentlemen were also there in
great numbers. Kearney made a speech, in
which be recommended hell as a proper place
for national bank directors, and hanging a r
an excellent way to dispose of John Sherman
and the financial question. The good Dr,
DeLa Matyr was called upon to make?, prayer
but there was so many objections and, so
much hissing that it had to be nqt to vote
whether he should pray or not. The women
suffragists remained through the conference,
and smiled ou the long-haired gentlemen,
having been deluded inf', the belief that the
conference would invite women delegates ia
to their national convention, and open the
door which would admit women into national
politics. But when, at the last hour of the
session, the address to the people and the
call for the national convention was read, no
mention w r as made of women, the females,
disappointed and angered, flounced out of
the hall, and declared that greenbaekers were
no better than any other men. I think Dem
ocrats everywhere make a great mistake in
joining with or in way encouraging the third
party moving at this time, and from all ac
counts they are not doing it. Phono.
Governor Colquitt has offered a reward of
two hundred dollars for the apprehension
and delivery to the proper authorities of M.
A. Smith, who killed Jasper Spence, in Floyd
county, on the 7th inst. Smith is described
as being about 45 years old, 5 feet 11 inches
high, weighs about 155 pounds, of dark com
plexion, has one black and one grey eye, and
has lost the point of the forefinger of his left
hand.
