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 gle he was caught. —We are trying to keep our eyes on Con gress, but so far we see nothing of great im portance up in that body. —*Wltat has become of the Clement attach ment boom ? We have heard nothing from 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 Legislatures and two Governors. It is now possible that the matter will he settled with bloodshed. —Lawyers are accumulating to such an extent i:i Gainesville that the Southron Is afraid that the city limits will have to bo ex tended to give them room, fff — A terrific storm has devastated St. Kitt'.s, sine of the West, India islands. Over two hundred l ; v<rs were lost, and an immense amount of property has been destroyed. —There is no doubt, but whst Col. Price intends to build Iho Gainesville and Dah ionega Railroad; he is now in New York to buy the iron for the first ten miles. Why 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.
