®ta Mmml (ftf-fns. HOB’T S. HOWARD, Editor. JEFFERSON, GA. ntlW.ll MOK IX;. hrenuhrr 17,1*80. liutier is now mule out of pig fat, ami called “ piggiue.” Matainoras, Mexico, is suffering from an epidemic of small-pox. The Georgia Railroad has declared a semi annual dividend of three and a half percent. The wet weather has considerably damaged the cotton crop, and will cat it off materially. John Kelley, of New York City, has been bounced out of his fat position as Comptrol ler of that city. A disastrous cyclone passed over a portion of Missouri last week, doing a considerable amount of damage. Senator Blaine has prepared a bill to re dnee letter postage from three to two cents per ounce. He will introduce it in the Sen ate in a day or two. Parson Felton will show his disgust at his late had treatment by the voters of the Seventh by voting with the Republicans. lie don't intend to caucus with the Democrats. Owing to the absence of some fifteen Dera ocratic members of the House of Represen tatives that party is powerless, and will re main so until the delinquents put in an ap pearance. The Panama Canal Company has opened its subscription books in most of the European and American money centers. It is reported that subscriptions are coming in rapidly, but in small amounts. Some contend that the vote of Georgia ought to be counted. We are of the opinion that it should not be counted, and that it is a poor excuse to insist upon its being count ed because it will not affect the result. The latest in regard to Senator Mahnnc's course in the United States Senate is that lie will act with the Democratic party on all important questions, but ho may be expected to take some eccentric turns oc casionally. Governor St. John, of Kansas, reports groat suffering among the colored refugees in his State, and makes piteous appeals for aid. He states also that arrivals continue at the rate of 150 per week, and most of them are in a destitute condition. The Republicans promised the workingmen of Fall River an advance in wages as soon as the election was over, provided they would vote the Radical ticket. The Fall River men are now kicking up a row because the terms of the contract have not been carried out. The latest suggestion brought out by the census is to cut Clarke and Morgan off into the Eighth District and give this District Cherokee county in exchange. Should this happen, Speer and little Aleck will have to run against each other, and that would be so funny. Hon. W. M. Evarts sa}s that there never lias been a time in his life when the South was notin debt and tradingon the next year’s crop. We are not in a position to verify Mr. Evarts’ position as regards the whole South, but what lie says is true iu regard to our own immediate soction. Mr. Thompson, Secretary of the Navy, has given up his jmsition in the Cabinet and ac cepted the Chairmanship of the American branch of the Panama Inter Oceanic Canal Company. His time would be out in March anyhow, and he thought it was best to get into some paying business at once. The Railroad Commission has reduced passenger fare on all of the large railroads in the State to three cents a mile, on the short roads four cents, and on the small branches to five cents. We have no com ments to make, as it is a question that only practical demonstration can stamp as a suc cess or a failure. It is estimated that the emmigrants coining to this country this year will bring $35,000,- 000 in specie, and the average value of each person in adding to the productive resources of the country is SO4O. Yet, there are lots of people in Georgia who are opposed to using any means whatever toaid us in securing our share of this wealth. The Augusta Chronicle § Constitutionalist suggests the lion. Pope Barrow, of Clarke county, as the best man for the Democrats to run against Speer in the next race. The suggestion is a good one. But our opinion is that Judge Erwin can make the best race, provided be would consent to be a candidate, which is hardly probable. On Friday night a fire broke out in Pensa cola, Fla., which burned for eight hours, de stroying nine-tenths of the city’, amounting in dollars to three-quarters of a million ; the custom house, post office, the main hotel, both printing offices, the banks and nearly all the stores were consumed. Hundreds and hun dreds of people are homeless, and many had all they had on earth burned up. This is in deed a great calamity to Pensacola. There have been various statements in regard to the health of Senator Lamar, some representing him as being in very delicate health. The Oxford (Miss.) Falcon, published at his home, says Senator Lamar’s health lias been improving since the close of the canvass, but that Mrs. Lamar’s health is very poor, and the Senator may take her to some tropical climate, which may prevent his being present at the opening of the Senate. But under no circumstances will his seat be va cant, during the next session of Congress, unless he can be paired with a Republican Senator. The Electoral vote of the State of Georgia has been carried to Washington City by the special Messenger, but it is generally con ceded that it will not be counted. An Englishman who lately came over to this country to examine into our modes of agriculture said, on his return home, that in twenty-five years lienee English fanners need not fear American competition in the produc tion of wheat, as bv that time the fertile wheat lands of the West would be exhausted, and the cost of production would necessarily in crease. It was his openion, however, that the American people would be the greatest nation in the world. A Washington correspondent, in describ ing the members of the United States Senate on their first assembling, gives us the follow ing on Joe Brown and Ben Hill: Senator Hill, of Georgia, patted the head of his little son as he answered the questions of his friends, and near him sat stiffly in his chair the strangest figure in the room—Senator Joe Brown, the picture of an old-time Methodist elder—his straight lips cleanly shaven, a long white beard falling on bis breast, and his hands benevolently embracing each other. Pledger, the leader of the Republican par ty iu this District, lias been on to Washing ton, trying to get Hayes to make some changes in the postal appointments for this District. Among others, the removal of Dr. Orr from the Athens post-office, which, it is said, he wants for himself. It is not probable that he will do anything while Hayes remains in office, but after that gentleman steps down and out 3-011 may expect to hear of 9ome sweeping changes. Pledger & Cos. must be rewarded, and post-offices are good things to pay debts with and keep alive the Republi can party in Georgia. The rise in prices is not over. Real estate, the best railroad stocks, many commodities will go still higher. Our accumulated and surplus capital is not exhausted 3-et. Best of all, there is as }-et to be seen ver3' little extension of credits. But it lias begun. In good times prepare for bad. It is the duty of railroad corporations to gather a surplus rather than water stock and pay exaggerated dividends. Banks should strengthen them selves. and keen a restraining hand on bor rowers. Business men must keep the brakes down on overtrading, and manufacturers should especially beware of over production. Above all, ever}- one should shun debt like the devil. The signs of the times portend an outburst of speculation as resistless as the current of the Niagara. Now is the time, if ever to check it, before it sweeps us into panic again.— Chicago Tribune. Georgia’s Bonds. Washington, December s. —Some years ago the State of Georgia guaranteed the bonds of the Brunswick and Albany Rail road of the state to the extent of $3,000,000. It has repudiated its guarantee and the bonds are now almost worthless. The interest is unpaid and the pa3*ment of the principal is not even hinted at. Ex Chief Justice Loch rane, of Georgia, with other prominent law yers, is here to endeavor to induce congress to take some action by which the state of Georgia shall be compelled to make good its repudiated warranty. The eleventh amend ment to the constitution forbids the suing of a state by an individual. This is thegreatob struetion in the path of holders of the worth less guarantee bonds. The state of Georgia is entirely able to make good to them the money the}- have sunk in them, but she can not be reached. In this respect she is supe rior to the United States. The latter can, in certain cases, be reached through the court of claims, blit for the State of Georgia there is no court of claims, and a private individual who has placed his money in securities upon her repudiated guarantee stands small chance of recovering it. The attorne}-s for the bond holders propose to secure the repeal of the 11th amendment. They say that only in that way can the}- reach the state, and that they propose to unite with them in the effort all persons who have suffered by the repudi ation of either state debts or securities bear ing state guarantees. They will, they claim, bring such a force to bear upon congress that it will be compelled to move in the matter. They expect a delegation from Frankfort on the Main, representing the holders of $1,500,- 000 of the Brunswick and Albany bonds, who have written to Sir Edward Thornton, the British minister here, about their repudiation. They addressed him, they stated, because they had purchased the bonds upon the rep resentations of Englishmen, and because the transaction was authenticated by a document bearing the official seal of the English con sulate. They ask Sir Edward to bring the matter to the attention of the American gov ernment. “ Interesting developments are promised before the matter is disposed of, as the par ties interested declare that the ease will be put in such a way that the desired legisla tion will be received, or the entire country will have to affirm the action of the repudia ting States.” Signs in the Heavens. Under this head the Athens Banner, in the following language, describes an occurrence that was also witnessed by a goodly number of our citizens last Thursday evening: “ ff’he people of Athens who were on the streets just before dark yesterday afternoon witnessed a strange sight, and one which caused much conjecture for a time. In the Western sky, at something less than forty five degrees above the horizon, a very brilliant meteor appeared, and made its way upward and onward. Its direction was towards the north, and its course was not direct and steady, but it seemed to pause for an instant, then take another leap, then another pause, and so on. In the meanwhile, it was making pro gress as it it had been sent for in a hurry and hud to go. Its path was marked by a long trail of white vapor, which was caused by the air, which it heated in its rapid flight, becoming condensed. In twoortliree minutes, or perhaps less time, it was out of sight, but its course could be plainly traced by its vapor-trail. This gradually scattered until it assumed the shape of light fleecy clouds, and then it too disappeared. No one that we talked with had ever seen anything like it.” GEORGIA The registration liu.s <>f Macon foot up whiles 850, colored -117. If a man is on his way to the woods to commit suicide and a bull suddenly gives chase the chances are that lie will run for his life. — Graphic. A rencounter took place at Greensboro on Tuesday morning between Mr. James Cary and Dr. Bethay, in which the former was shot so badly that lie is not expected to survive. At the burial of Mrs. Dr. Williams last week, at Social Circle, five sisters and four brothers were present, besides a large group of grandchildren. The ages of the sisters and brothers of the deceased ranged from 78 to 52 years. Macon has had an epidemic of serious fights lately. On Tuesday night last George W. Garner and John McDonald became involved in a quarrel, when Garner drew a pistol and fired five shots at McDonald, who fell and died in an hour. Both men were employes of mill number two in that city, and had been drinking. A disastrous fire occurred in Jonesboro last Thursday night. Three store houses, one oc cupied as a saloon by John Starr, another oc cupied by Mr. J. E. Lites, and a third occu pied by Mr. L. J. Camp as a confectionary and family grocer}-, were destroyed with most of their stocks of goods, 'fhore was no insu ranee on either the houses or the goods, and the losses are, in consequence, very heavy. The Summerville Gazette reports that on the 24th ult. J. I. Brewton, who lives some six miles south of that town, went to the cot ton field with several of his children. His daughter Lily, about nine years old, went to the fire to warm her fingers, when her dress caught fire and she was terribly burned. Her fkther began tearing off her dress, but in her fright she broke away from him and ran some thirty yards before he could catch her. He finally extinguished the flames by throwing her down and rolling her over on the ground. Medical attention was called in, and, at last accounts, she was improving, though she will be confined to the bed for a month or more. Lucy I lolly-, an old colored weman living on the farm of Mr. T. O. Burruss, was at cidentally burned to dentil on the 7th instant. She was seen on the 7th about 10 o’clock A. M. going to her cabin with a torch in her hand, and on the morning of the Bth she was found dead about 15 paces from her cabin. Fragments of burnt clothing were found all about from the door to the spot where she succumbed to the flames. Every stitch of clothing was burnt off except her shoes and stockings, and the skin was burnt off her body except on her feet and face. A Coro ner’s inquest was held over her body, which brought in a verdict of death by accidental burning. —Franklin Cos. Register. Both Athens and Milledgevillc have, dur ing the past week, made narrow escapes from extensive conflagrations, and singularly enough both occurred on Saturday night last. In Athens smoke was seen by a colored night watchmen issuing from the office of Reaves, Nicholson & Co.’s warehouse, and an inves tigation revealed a smouldering fire under the floor, caused, it is supposed, by coals fal ling through from the grate. In Mi!ledge ville the night watchman discovered smoke emerging from the telegraph office, and it was soon seen that the floor was burning. Prompt action in both cases suppressed the flames, but had the fires not been discovered at the time great disasters would have result ed. Atlanta Constitution : “ Yesterday even ing about 5 o’clock, a policeman’s attention was called to a handsomely dressed lady who was passing down Whitehall street in an in toxicated condition. Going up to her, the officer ascertained that she was almost be yond navigation. Calling a hack, he, though greatly against her will, put her in it and started to the calaboose, but on the way the woman begged so hard to be taken home that the officer consented and drove her to her house, where she was taken in charge by her family. On her way home she expressed great indignation at the treatment she had received, and threatened to sue the city. She said that she was a banker’s wife in an ad joining city, and that she would have redress for the gross insult heaped upon her. She denied being drunk, though she said she had been drinking champagne. A gentleman who lives in Atlanta and is acquainted with the lady, says that her story about being a banker’s wife is true. lie also says that her family moves in the best circles of society in the town from which she came to A’lanta, but adds that this is not the first time she has been taken home in an intoxicated con dition. She was neatly and handsomely attired in a beautiful silk, and her hands were loaded with rings. Her conversation indicated that she was, or had been a lady of culture and refinement. Here’s a good lesson for the temperance people.’’ A gang of Gypsies have been encamping in Webster county, and the Amcncus Sum ter Republican tells of a mean trick one of them played upon a citizen of the county as follows : “ Last week a gang of Gypsies pas sed through Webster. They camped a while near Jack Hawkins’, who is one of the farms of Col. S. 11. Hawkins, of this city. During the war Jack was wounded in the head, which produces, at times, calenture of the brain, rendering him nearly unconscious. The Gypsy noticing his weakness, plied him with liquor and while under the influence of it got him to trade a very fine mule for au old di lapidated, broken-down speckled horse. They immediately broke camps agd came to Amer ions, Saturday. Col. Hawkins got wind of the transaction, took Sheriff Mize and started for the camp to get his mule. The man hav ing it, apprised of their coming, mounted the mule and left. Col. Hawkins and Sheriff Joe followed on to Friendship, but finding that the fellow had given them the dodge, return ed and arrested one Jack Herrington, of the gang, who had possession of the mule for awhile. Judge Pilsburv informed the said Jack that lie must produce the muld or go to jail. lie certioraried, gave bond in the sum of one hundred and ten dollars, his friends depositing tiiat sum in the hands of H. D. Watts, who stood his bond, and he was re leased. Sunday morning the entire gang had disappeared. We believe the money was turned over to Col. Hawkins to reimburse him for his loss.” W. A. Titus, 62 Ashland Avenue, Toledo, Ohio, says: My wife is now as strong as ever, her regained health being directly due to the use of ti e Excelsior Kidney Pad. We can heartily recommend it to all kidney troubled persons. —See Adv. S. if. Irwin, of Vie Creek.
