A Grant article in tho Galveston News
cost that paper 1,500 subscribers. The
Grant boom evidently has not reached
Texas yet.
George W. Childs states that the connec
tion of Gen. Grant’s name with the presi
dency of the Nicaraguan Canal scheme is
pure faction.
The Cincinnati Gazette and Commercial
promise to publish editions in Chicago
Muring the holding of tho Republican
Convention there.
Secretary Shorman frankly announces
that he is a presidential candidate, by
sponking right out in opposition to the
third term movement.
Ex-Governor Seymour has in his study
At Deerftol<l a splendid library, a distinc
tive feature of which is a collection of bio
graphies of American statesmen.
The probable immediate outcomo of the
Maine steal will be the eloction of Smith,
tho Greonbacker, for governor, and a Dem
ocrat to the United States Senate.
Tho New York Herald says that an acci
dent of Hotno kind on one or the other of
the elevated railroads is reported almost
daily, and.that somo times two or three
ooour in the same twenty-four hours.
Tho Cincinnati Enquirer thinks Secre
tary Sherman hasn’t a serious chance of
getting tho presidential nomination. He
couldn’t got the Ohio delegation against
any other man that might ask for it.
A young maiden walking with her lover
in tho park, in tho oarly spring, poetically
remarked how delightful it was to see the
trees omitting. Tho dull swain didn’t
seem to comprehend her and she had to
explain to him that sho meant, in plain
pto se, leaving out.
Miss Josephine Meeker, the heroic
daughler of the murdered Indian agent,
has been given a clerkship in the Depart

It is skated that sho is preparing a leeturo
on what she knows about Indians; she
knows moro about them than mostpeopie.
Congressman and ex-Confederato Gen
eral Joe Johnston was asked the other day
why the Confederates didn't move on and j
take Washington after the first battle of
Bull Run. Ho answered, "There were two
reasons--myself and tho Potomac river.
I had roaohod that ago that I know that
an American sohlior could not ford a rivor
a milo wide ahd eighteen feet deep.’’
Mr. George Win. Curtis expresses the
opinion tlmt the nomination of General
' Grant for a third term would bo inexpedi
ent—in his judgment “tho most inexpe
dient that oould be made, for it would
proroke the resistance at least —of a largo
and powerfnl class of Republicans whose
cooperation has boon demonstrated to be
essential to the party’s snceoss next year.”
George Augustus Sala says thero are
only two processions to be compared to
that of PhilfcMphi in honor of Genoral
Grant. One is the glittering pageant
when the remains of tho first Napoleon
were borne through Paris, in 1840. to their
resting placo on the hanks of the Seine,
and the other is the demonstration in Lon
don, in 1838, in honor of tho coronation
of Queen Victoria.
Gen. Grant wroto to Gen. Harry White,
of Pennsylvania, four years ago. “Now
for the third term. Ido not want it any
more than I did the first. I would not
writ** or utter a word to change the will I
of the people in expressing or having their
choice. The question of the number of
torms allowed to any exceutivo can only
oomo up fairly in the shape of a proposi
tion to amend the Constitution—a 6hape
in which all political parties can partici
pate, fixing the length of time or the num
ber of terms for which any one person
.shall be eligible for the office of president.
3am not, nor have I ever been, a candi
date for renomination. I would not ac
cept a nomination were it tendered, unless
it should come under such circumstances
as to make it an imperative duty.”
Representative Aiken, of South Carolinn,
whose recent declaration that it would be
the best thing for the democracy to dis
band has caused wide comment, has writ
ten an open letter in which he endeavors
to explain his position. He says that what
he put forth he meant to apply to Federal
politics only, and not to the democratic
party in South Carolina. He avers that
the people of the South are held responsi
ble for the democratic legislation in Con
gress, when the fact is the Southern dem
crats are guided entirely by their North
ern allies; that all the Federal legislation
rebounds to the benefit of the North, and
none or almost none of it to the benefit of
the South. Mr. Aiken declares himself
in favor of accelerating the negro exodus
which he thinks will tend to the benefit
of the South. With regard to the presi
dency, he says he could not with his pres
ent c< n fictions advocate the claims of Mr.
Bayard-
Bob Pharr, a South Carolina negro held
that no white man had a right to arrest
him under any circumstances. He was a
thief, and that was the manner in which
he construed the meaning of the Fifteenth
Amendment. Three j olicemen surround
ed his house, and he jumped from a wid
ow, shooting one of them as he escaped.
He got out of jail by snatching a pistol
from the Sheriff and shooting him with it.
He killed a constable who was ondeavor
ing to recapturo him. He murdered his
wife because he suspected her of intend
ing to deliver him up. At length a party
of police invaded his hidingplaceat Char
lotte. They had not searched long before
his head and a pistol were protruded from
behind a bed. Officer Hill unhesitatingly
sent a bullet through his brain, killing
him instantly.
Blaine, says the Philadelphia Times, is
the most poj ul r of all the gr at R publican
leaders. He has more of the affections of
the party than any half-dozen of his Pres
idential competitors; but he is just now
tho wort cheated man of our history. The
Democrats have robbed him of Maine;
Cameron has robbed him of the control of
the National Committee; Pennsylvania is
about to be wrested from him in a whirl
and given over to Grant. Perhaps Presi
dential candidates get used to such things
as the old woman’s eels got used to being
skinned; but it does look as if moro than
a fair share of political piracy has been
practiced upon Blaine within the last
few days. What is he going to do about
it ?
The New York Sun thinks that the next
president, whoever he is, will probably
have tho appointment of fivo Judges of the
United States Supreme Court. Tho pres
ent court is composed Waite, Swayne.Mil
ler, Strong, Bradley, Hunt and Harlan,re
publicans, and Field and Clifford, demo
crats. The Sun says that “Clifford is 76
years old and is fast declining. Swayne,
is 75 and though hale for that time of life,
cannot expect in the nature of things to
hold out much longer. Strong is turned
of 70, and is daily growing feeble. Brad
loy is 68, and is ready to retire voluntarily
when he may got the pension. Hunt is
hopelessly broken in health by paralysis.
Mrs. General Grant, is said to bo very
fond of collecting pictures of herself, ITly
sess and the children. She gets every
photograph she can and carefully - puts it
away for future use. When fixing up her
house at Galena tho other day she hung
up Ulysess and the children in nearly
every room. Tho little General, observing
the redundancy about the house of Grant
and the little ones, removed his cigar from
his jaws long enough to observe ‘‘it was in
bad taste,” whereupon the good wife gave
the man of destiny to understand very
plainly that it was her house ho was talk
ing about, and she would not bo told how
she should fix it up.
The Atlanta Constitution says: “Mr.
Blaine grows eloquent in liis recent letter,
and declares that the rights of town gov
ernments liavo been destroyed by the act
ion of the authories in Maine. This is
bad, of course; hut we remember that Mr.
Blaine has been very active in endeavor
ing to destroy the rights of the states. If
we had the time and felt like it we would
sit down and really sympathize with Mr.
Blaine. Let us hope that under tho be
nign influences of a democratic adminis
tration the town governments will recup
erate and be able to enjoy themselves at
the next election.”
Tho Savannah Recorder has this to say
of “Uncle Remus:” Mr. Harris iR the best
delineator of tho negro lingo, and has the
happy faculty of divining the negro’s
thoughts of any one wo know. We desire
to see as soon as possible his book in prin f ,
for it will be very readable. It will be the
negro character as a slave portrayed to the
very life, and for that reason, we wish to
remember the negro. The negro is of a
peculiar character, and there is in him a
peculiar originality which no other people
have.
Governor Garcelon has published a card
explaining his course, in which ho said
that the only question at issue was wheth
er the Governor and Council should fol
low tho mandates of tho constitution, the
law and the judicial decisions in regard
thereto, or whether they should trample
the law and constitution under foot, vio
late the oaths of office, and forfeit, not only
their self-respect, but the respect they
have a right to claim from both friends
and foes so long ns they do their duty.
Major Wade Hampton, whose death has
been recently announce, was tho eldest
son of the Senator by bis first wife, Miss
Preston. He served through the whole
war, for the most part on the staff of Gen
eral Joseph E. Johnston, and was wound
ed at the battle of Burges’ Mill in 1864.
In the same action, his brother was kill
ed.
Ex-Marshall Bozaine, who was convict
ed of treason at the close of the Franco-
German war, and who was sentenced to
twenty years imprisonment at Sainte Mar
i gnerite, ran which he escaped has solic
ited pemission to settle some family affairs
i in France, but has been refused.
The appraisers of the estate of the late
; Wm. S. O’brien, of San Francisco, have
made an inventory, showing its value to
\be $9,655,459 77. One item is 23,750 shares
j of Nevada Bank stock, valued at $l4O per
■share. He also owned $2,500,000 in Uni-
States 4J per cent bonds.

Georgia Affairs.
Mr. U. W. J. Ham has retired from the
Gainesville Eagle.
Uncle Ned Mumford, the Talbotton edi
tor, wants to be Mayor of that town.
“Uncle Remus” is winning golden praise
with his quaint rabbit and fox stories.
A wild-cat weighing forty-three pounds
was captured Sumter county last week.
Hon. A. H. Stephens is now in good
health but ho doesn't expect to live twelve
months.
Drew, the tempcranco man, is not mak
ing as much headway in Savannah as he
did in Atlanta.
Ellison Damsel, colored, was shot and
killed by a tramp named Hobbs,at Thomp
son on Christmas day.
Since August 31st, the Columbus En
quirer has counted 55 gin houses burned
in Georgia and 32 in Alabama.
Abram Neal, colored, under sentence of
death, and imprisoned in the Chatham
county jail died of consumption.
Judge Peter J. Strozier, of Albany, a
prominent lawyer and jurist, died last
Monday morning at his residence in that
place.
Nine-tenths of the people of Georgia
will stick to Governor Colquitt if he only
carries out the conditions of the lease law
on the 13th.
George Harris and Wesley Long, both
had a light near Augusta on Christmas.
Harris struck Long over the head with a
gun and killed him.
The grand jury of Glynn county have
presented nineteen voters at the late mu
nicipal eloction in Brunswick for perjury,
seven of whom are negroes.
Governor Colquitt has a verj plain duty
to perform on the 13th of this month,
when he offers for lease the Macon &
Brunswick railroad. Let him act well and
wisely.
The Macon & Brunswick railroad can
not be leased to the Central railroad either
directly or indirectly. Governor Colquitt
should thoroughly understand this before
he offers it for lease.
The DuPont Okefenokean is reliably in
farmed that a certain party will contribute
one thousand dollars to build a court
house for Clinch county, provided the
county site is moved to DuPont.
Capt. Fred Coulter, for twenty years an
agent of tho Southern Express Company,
died in Atlanta on Wednesday night,
Christmas Eve. He was stricken with par
alysis some two years age, and never re
covered. .
The Central Railroad monopoly will try
hard to gobble up the Macon & Brunswick
railroad, but if it succeeds it will bo the
fault of Governor Colquitt and against the
will of the people of Georgia. Down with
the monopoly!
Gov. Alfred 11. Colquitt will only need
back-bone on the 13th instant, and we
are satisfied that he has a sufficient quan
ity to carry out, not only the law, but the
spirit of the law. To do otherwise would be
political suicide.
The Atlanta Planter & Grange is here
after to appear in an enlarged form, and
will be known as the Dixie Fafmer. Its
editor, Mr. Frank Gordon, will endeavor
to maintain and improve upon the best
features of the Planter & Grange.
Savannah is to have anew steamship to
be run by the most powerful engines ever
placod in an American built vessel. This
ship will be of greater capacity than any
steamer running into Savannah, and is be
lieved to be a fore-runner of anew line be
tween that city and Liverpool. When
completed, however, will be used at first
betwoen Savannah and New York.
The Albany News says: “The people in
the pine belt of South Georgia should take
note o’f the fact that 75,824,823 pounds of
rice were imported into this country’ last
year. Plant rice, gentlemen—the demand
is inexhaustible, and your lands are pecu
liarly well adapted to tho cultivation of
rice. The resultsof experiments in Worth,
Berrien, Coffee and Ware counties the past
year is a sufficient guarantee of success in
the future.”
There has been a largely increased de
velopment in the gold fields of Georgir.
From a bullion yield of only SIOO,OOO four
years ago the product this year promises
to exceed $1,000,000 and is rapidly increas
ing. New mines aro opening and new
veins are discovered. These mining oper
ations extend from the counties of Ogle
thorpe and Wilkes to the Alabama line.
The Augusta Evening News says: One
thousand dollars would put the harbor of
Darien in good order, and would besides
be worth hundreds of thousands to that
section of the State. The Gazette be
lieves Congressman Nicbolls will be able
to get the bill through. At least, it con
soles itself with the remark that Colonel
Nicbolls will get tho appropriation if any
man can.
In noticing some large fees awarded in
certain big cases, the Atlanta Constitution,
of Thursday says: “It is said that Gen.
Henry R. Jackson, has just gained a place
in Florida touching the ownership of cer
tain railroad in which his share of the
amount gained will be over SIOO,OOO, and
it is more than likely that the case will 1 o
settled in a short time. Mr. Guerrard is
said to have an interest in this decision,
representing other bondholders, that will
veld him a fee of at ion t SIO,OOO. Colonel
Daniel S. Fl int up, of Rome, is the only
lawyer of North Georgia that we know of
that has made much more than a compe
tency. He has established a bank in which
his sons are doing a large business—mak
ing character and money. Messrs. Alex
ander A Wright, of Rome, made a SIO,OOO
for collecting an old war claim.”
General Walker Superintendent, of the
Census of-1880, thinks the result will show
the population of this country to be from
forty-seven to forty-eight millions. He be
lieves, from facts already in his possession
that there will be found to be quite a large
increase of population in the Western
States, particularly in Kansas, lowa and
Minnesota. The Southern States will also
show an increase, particularly Texas, Mis
souri, Tennessee and Northern Alabama.
He does not think there has been a de
cline in the population of any of the
States. According to General Walker’s es
timates, three Western and four Southern
States will have an increase of representa
tion in Congress.
It is now proclaimed that the republican
managers in New York have determined to
put through, at the coming session of the
Legislature, a law restoring the metropoli
tan police system. New York city, Brook
lyn, Staten Island and Yonkers will constt'-
tute one police district, and the control of
tke force will be in the hands of republi
cans appointed by the Governor.
A warm personal friend of Senator Ed
munds, of Vermont, has received a letter
from him in which he says that the pres
sure against his contemplated resignation,
in the contingency of Justice Hunt’s re
tirement, is so great that he has concluded
to remain in the Senate until the expira
tion of his term in 1881.
Congressman Miles Ross, of New Jersey
a member of the democratic national com
mittee, is quoted as saying that, from in
formation gathered from far and near, he
iR convinced that none other than Mr. Til
den could or would be nominated for the
presidency.
The Religious Herald ofliichmond, Va.,
says: “Such men as Toombs are the worse
enemies the South has. They furnish
weapons to those who are disposed to fight
us. They are public nuisances.”
