ROB’T S. HOWARD, Editor. JEFFERSON, GKA_ FI!AY HOUMX;, IVlny 84, 1440. —The railroad war is not yet over ! ' ‘—Mr. Tilden is a candidate this week! —Gov. Colquitt has lost more than he will gain by the Brown appointment. It js probable that after the census is .taken, Georgia may lose one of her represen .tfitives in Congress. . —Capt. Pope Barrow is from all appear* .ances the choioe of the Democracy of Clark county for the next Legislature. —From the way the people view Gov. Brown appointment, we take it that there can be no repentance, and remission of sins in politics. —Gen. Longstreet has been appointed minister to Turkeys in place of minister f.iavnard who takes Postmaster General Keyts pjaoe. —The British Parliament has reassembled under the new ministry. The Queen made her speech, in which was defined the policy oi the new Government. —lt is suggested by the colored people that some colored man be placed upon the presidential ticket with Grant. The white Republicans do not take to the idea. —The citizens of Columbus and Ncwnan are not only amazed, but indignant that Gov. Colquitt should foist ex Gov. Joe Brown . upon t.Jie people as United States Senator from Georgia. —The idea that there was any trade or understanding in the appointment of Brown is most emphatically denied by Gov. Col quitt. Yet both admit that they had talked to cacli other about the matter. —There is a growing disposition amongst some of our citizens to advocate the election of Grant upon the idea that he can give us a strong Government. This is absurd, be will do just exactly as lie did before, and the South need expect nothing from him. —A writer ftom Harmon}’ Grove tells the Atlanta Constitution that the lion. J. J. Turnbull of Banks county. “Says; that if the Hon. 11. P. Bell is nominated to Con gress from this district he will support him m preference to Emory Speer. —lt has been suggested to us that if Joe Brown is so objectionable as senator, why was he not objected to when he went down to Florida to engineer that State for Tilden, 'we imagine that was a right important posi tion in the party, and only trusted to the truest and wisest. —There i3 a growing desire amongst the colored politicians to demand their share of the honor and of lice at the disposal of the Radical party. This disposition has maul fested itself in more thaa one instance with in the la--t few months showing that they are becoming restless under the leadership of their white party friends. —J udge E. M. Butt of Buena Vista, has tendered his resignation as Judge of the Superior Courts of the Chattahoochee Circuit. Ju'lge Butt was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the appointment of the former Judge, M. J. Crawford, as one of the asso ciate Justices of tiie Supreme Court. Gov. Colquitt has appointed James L. Wimberly, of Lumkin Stewart county, to the vacancy. —The Walton county Videtle, hits the nail exactly on the head in the following paragraph, it ha 9 been o*r experience in more than one instance: *An editor never knows of what value hi* paper is until he prints an error or says something which dis pleases someone, and in less than an hour after his paper is on Yhe street he hears of it. Let him speak gvwd of % man or his business and he seldom gets even a thank you for it.” —We would suggest that the surplus mon ey in the State Treasury bo used in building anew or in adding to tho old Lunatic Asy. lum at Milledgevilla. There is a great ne cessity for more room for this unfortunate class of people. County jails are no places to keep them in, provided they were better adopted for that purpose, and such as thej r are it is almost an impossibility for a sane person to keep his health locked up in one. sky scrapers went up to Gaines ville last Friday evening, after hunting about they found the hungry nine Saturday morn ing ?ind played them a game, and more than doublet! them in the score, our boys say the hungry nine play well but then, they have not got the muscle. Albert Lamar is representing tho best fire insurance company doing business in Georgia. Don’t neglect any longer to see him about insuring your property you don't know when jour stove will go back on you. —Several of our young men will cxcurt with the Pioneer Company next Monday to Toccoa falls the}’ all propose to carry their sweethearts, the j’oung man that read the novels will make his little speech while at the falls, if he don’t get too much excited. Shooting Scrape. On Monday preceding our last public sale day in this county, there occured quite a se rious difficulty at Walnut Grove in this coun ty, but for lack of facts, our informant being unusually reticent, we have been withholding it to get the particulars. From the best in formation wo can gather it seems that a man named Allgood and a man whose name we could not get engaged in a fight in Mr. Ed Roberson'a bar room at the Grove. Being an orderly man Mr, Roberson ejected them which aet excited Allgoods anger two fold, and he drew his knife and turning, returned into the bar room and started toward Rober son with his knife brandishing. Roberson told him to keep off or he would shoot him, or some such warning but he continued to advance, and to stop him Roberson fired at his legs and shot him through the thigh. Roberson we learn then told him he had fired to stop him only first, but if he kept advancing that he would shoot next timo to hurt. The facts seem to justify Mr. Roberson’s conduct as lie was protecting himself and his property. Allgood was doing well at last accounts. The man, though, whom All good was fighting when they were ejected irora the bar room is reported as not doin°- so well, he having been painfully stabbed by Allgood in the early part of the row.— Wal ton County Vidette. The Latest Sensation. Great was Georgia’s surprise last week when the papers announced the fact that the lloti. J. B. Gordon, oar .Senior Senator, had sent in his resignation to Gov. Colquitt ask ing its immediate acceptance. llis reason for ibis unusual course were simply, that his pri vate affairs demanded his attention, and that be was tired of public life. Gov. Colquitt telegraphed him to reconsid er the matter, Senator Gordon’s reply was, that his mind was fully made up and his determination could not be altered. Gov. Colquitt deeming in necessary to act promptly in the matter has appointed Ex- Gov. Joseph E. Brown to fill the vacancv until in the fall when Gen. Gordon’s'success or will be elected. Gov. Brown has accepted and is by this time in his seat in the United States senate and Gen. Gordon has retired to the shades of private life. These are the unvarnished facts about the matter for you to construe as you see fit. Various are the conjectures and surmises that have been made concerning the resigna tion, the whole thing was so sudden and un expected that our people do not exactly know howto take it. or in what light the affair should be considered. It is openly charged that there was a trade and bargain at the bottom of the matter, Gordon swapping his seat in the Sen ate for some position at Joe Brown’s disposal which will bring him more money. Gov. Col quitt appointing him to the vacancy in view of the fact that both Brown and Gordon will support him in his race for Governor- How true this is we are not in a position to judge and can hardly bring our minds to conceive of such a bargain between three of the most noted and prominent citizens of our State. The day it is proved that there was a bar gain will be a sad one for Georgians. The resignation of Gen. Gordon is a mat. ter of regret to all Georgians, and while he, has a perfect right to do as he pleases about the matter yet in accepting the position he placed himself under oblogations to look after Georgias interest and the good of his party, and many think he might have waited until after the adjournment of Congress and the issues between the two parties, made up. As to Gov. Colquitt appointment we hardlv know what to say, while all admit that he is wise and abounding in judgement still many do not think he is a fit representative of Georgia’s Democracy, his record during the war and during the reconstruction period makes him obnoxious to many of our citizens while upon the other hand he has supporters. All admit that he will look well after the interest of our State yet his Democracy is doubted when his personal ends can be served. The Columbus Meeting. The following resolutions were passed by the citizens of Columbus in regard to the ap pointment of Ex-Gov. Brown as United States Senator. Whereas, News has this da}’ reached us that Senator John B. Gordon has resigned the high trust reposed in him as Senator for the people of Georgia, and. Whereas, Alfred 11. Colquitt, governor of said State, has accepted the resignation ten dered. and has appointed to fill the vacancy caused by such resignation, one Joseph E. Brown, and. Whereas, The said Joseph E. Brown is notoriously known in the history of our State as a man who betrayed the State of Georgia into the hands of her enemies in her darkest hours of trial and counselled and instigated measures which had they prevailed would have incarcerated many of her best citizens within tho walls of a dungeon, would have placed others under the gallows and would have brought into power a party inimical to the interests of the State and the good and respectable’ people thereof. ■ V*. ’ And whereas, The said Joseph E. Brown is neither a representative of the people of this State nor of the Democratic party; therefore be it. Resolved, By the Democracy of Muscogee county, in indignation assembled, that we greatly regret the action of Senator Gordon in surrendering the important trust reposed in him by the people. And be it further. Resolved, That the action of Alfred II Colquitt governor in the appointment of ,]<> j seph K. Brown as Senator of Georgia to suc ceed General John B. Gordon is deservin'’ j of censure so strong that we fail to find words I adequate to express our indignation thereat. Resolved, further, That Joseph E. Brown is not a representative of the State of Geor gia nor of the Democratic party of this State —and that wc the people of Muscogee coun ty in mass meeting assembled hereby ex press our disapprobation of the shameful and disgraceful manner in which he has been foisted upon hs. Resolved, further, That the public press be requested to publish tb'j proceedings of this meeting. O * To the Hon- Board of Jury Commissioners of Jackson County. I desire to call your attention to the fact that the act of the general assembly authoriz ing your appointment, requires you to meet on the first Monday in June next, for the purpose of revising the Jury Boxes of said county, according to the provisions of said act. T. It. NIBLACK, C. S. C. Excursion of the Pioneer Hook & Ladder Company. The grandest event of the season will be the Pioneer Hook & Ladder Company’s Ex cursion to Toccoa Falls, on Monday, the 31st of May. Elegant coaches have been secured from the Air-Line Railroad, and a good, comfortable seat will be furnished to all that go. The fare is so cheap, that even the poorest can afford to visit the beautiful tails, and spend a delightful day under the cool shade of the mountainous rocks. Every person in town should purchase a ticket and know that the dollar spent in this way goes to building a Hall for the Company, and also to add another attraction to our already beautiful city.— Athens Chronicle. Tho Census* We would suggest to every one to be ready for the census enumerator when he comes around in June. Bear in mind that this has nothing to do with the assessment of property for the purpose of taxation. Go to work now and get as near as possible to the actual amount and products of last year. This will include everything raised on the farm, as well as all farm animals. The names and ages of the family will bo required. It will facilitate matters very much if these Tacts are all prepared beforehand. If you have neighliors, white or colorod, who do not read the papers, and who may be ignorant of the purport of a census, explain it to them, so they may be prepared to answer without reserve. —Chronicle Constitutionalist , Fancy Dry Goods, of all descriptions, PRINTS, MUSLTNS, GINGHAMS, DOMESTICS, &c., and a full line of DRESS GOODS of every variety; NOTIONS, HATS, CAPS, BOOTS, SHOES, &c.
