The South will not be solid anymore.
'There is a genuine Grant boom in Flor
ida.
Louisiana's sugar crop will be 185,0<X
hogshead.
Pennsylvania is going back on Grant.
Blaine will get the delegation.
The indications are that the Florida
State Fair will be the best ever held.
Two newspaper men fought a duel near
New (Menus on Tuesday, but nob vdy w; s
hurt.
Hor, Hugh J. Jewett, of New York, is
the latest Democratic candidate for Pres
ident.
Ex-Senator Spencer, of Alabama, recent
ly cleared $500,000 by the sale of a Utah
silver mine.
Hon. Randall Gibson has been elected
United States Senator from Louisiana, to
succeed Kellogg.
Guano shipments through Charlotte are
so large that it is next to impossible to
got the cars to transfer it.
There are about thirteen Republican
members of the Louisiana Legislature.
The Democratic members number 121.
White labor can be had in sufficient
quantity to supply the place of negroes
who have gone to Kansas from New lberi.f
parish, Louisiana.
The San Francisco merchant remarks
that "if California leather is goo 1 enough
to export to Connecticut,it is good enough
to make boots of at home.”
The two hundred citizens of Bangor,
Me., who serenaded Blaine the other night
gave three cheers for "J. G. Blaine, the
next President of the United States.”
lion. E. B. Washburne is a candidate
for tile Republican nomination for Gover
nor in Illiuoie. He thinks the Gr.berna
t rial track io the one most sure to lead to
the White House.
It is said that a Democratic member of
tho Ohio Legislature refuses to serve on
the library committee because the chair
man of the committee is Mr. Williams,the
colored member from Cincinnati.
Michigan is financially the solidest state
in the Union. Her debt is only $904,000.
Her elegant new stato capitol is finished
and paid for, costing, strange as it may
appear, $15,000 less than was appropriated
for it.
Mr. Conkling has his people well in
hand. A canvass of the Republican mem
bers of the New York Legislature gives
this result: Grant, 40; Grant or Blaine, 5;
Blaine or Sherman, 1; Sherman, 2; Conk
ling, 4; Garfield, 1; Washburne, 1; non
committal, ‘2O.
Virginia Domocrats who have been
prone to snub Senator-elect Mahone are
beginning to fear that he will act with the
Republicans when ho gets into the Senate,
and by uniting the Democratic re-adj as
ters and Republicans, make the Old Do
minion an anti-Democratic state.
When tlio Governor of Mississippi stated
in Lia annual message tLut justice was ef
ficiently administered and crime punished
in that state, the Yiokburg Herald (Dom.),
at once remarked: "Wo ure afraid ho is u
little off in this statement. Tho state has
sufl'erod grievosly in killers, shooters, cut
ters, staffers and choators, and as a rule
thoy have boon punished by turning them
loose to engage in cussedness again.”
There appears to be a decided difference
of opinion among New York journals in
regard to Senator Uoukling’s relation to
the third term boom. One paper goes so
far as to say that General Grant has lost
all confidence in Now York’s favorite sou,
and that the latter is organizing to flank
the third term movement. Another inti
mates that the onlj* thing Conkling now
cares for in this life is to see Gen. Grant
President again.
John G. Thompson, who is again at the
helm of the Ohio Democracy, in the sti
vice of Thurman, announces that the
Democratic State Convention will not
be held until after the National Conven
tion. This gives Thompson’s com
mittee the privilege of naming four dele
gateß-at-large to the National Convention;
but it ishuts the party off from making
a declaration of principles, and hence the
incontinent growl from the buck-eye wing
•of the Democracy.
The Philadelphia Times, independent,
"regards Senator Maine as the most do
serving of the Republican statesmen, and
as likely to make the best Pres.dent; but
it would not favor Mr. Blaine's election on
a sectional issue. It regards Senator Bay
ard as the embodiment of the best purpo
ses of the Democracy, and as best fitted
for the high trust of any of his party com
petitors; but it would not support him if
the party presented itself in the semi-rev
olutionary attitude assumed by the party
majority during the extra session.”
Janies D. Westcctt, formerly Uuittd
Statts Senator from Florida, died at Mon
treal on Monday. He was born at Alexan
dria, Ya., in 1802; practiced law in New
Jersey, and was appointed by President
Jackson Secretary of the territory of Flor
ila. He became a member of the Terri
torial Legislature and of the convention
which formed the Constitution of the state
and on the admission of Florida into the
Union, in 1845, he was elected to the Uni
ted States Senate. He removed to Canada
at the outbreak of the rebellion and has
: 'b e> r since. Hi 1 :•is a . ont of
ine • j#*vf Ju i.teeof Florida.
Congress is now investigating the exo
dus movement. The committee has bo< n
at work but a little over week still we can
predict the result of their investigations.
After summing up all the testimony the
committee will make two reports, a major
ity and minority report. The. Democratic
members of the committee will swear by
all that is good that the negroes were per
suaded against their will and for political
purposes, to leave the South, while the
Radical members will swear equally as
hard that the negroes wore shamefully
abused, ill-treated and murdered, hence
the exodus movement. Now, which of
these reports will be believed? Why the
Democrats will believe their side and the
Radicals theirs, and right there the matter
will end. What a farce, what a humbug,
this investigation business in.
It now seems that General Grant is not
so popular in Ohio as he "use to was.”
Mr. Frod liassaurek, editor of the Cincin
nati Yolksblatt and one of the leading
German:) of Ohio, was in Washington the
other day and was fnterviewed. He says
emphatically that the German vot: of Ohio
will go against Grant in case he is nomi
nated, and that this will make Ohio a
doubtful State. All the leading German
dailies in the country are against Grant,
not as a man, but on the principle of a
third-term. Furthermore, he says that
Ohio cun be carried for Bayard if be is the
Democratic nominee.
Somebody in the Seventh Georgia Dis
trict has already nominated lion. William
11. Dabney for Congress to succeed lion.
William 11. Felton. Colonel Dabney is a
good man but Dr. Felton who, by the way
is one of the very best men in Congress,
will defeat him by a larger majority than
ho did in 187(5. Felton pays strict atten
tion to his duties while in Washington
and that is the main reason why the peo
ple like him so well; and there is another
good thing about him, he fulfills all his
promises and never goes back on a friend.
No wonder the people stick to such a man.
General Joshua L. Chamberlain, tho
man who prevented blood-shed in Maine
during the recent political excitement, is
now being talked of as the successor of
old Hannibal Hamlin in the United States
Senate. General Chamberlain has served
several terms as Governor of Maine, and
will be recollected by many as the Union
General why made a conciliatory speech
in Maine during the last Fourth of July
celebration in that State. He is a conser
vative Republican and would make a good
Senator.
We have been reliably informed that one
of the most prominent men in this section
of Georgia, will oppose the regular nomi
nee of the Democratic party in the next
Congressional race in the First District,
and lively times may he expected. The
people of the South aro getting sick and
tired of “professional” politicians and
many of them had better prepare them
selves to be left out in the cold next No
vember.
The new Senator from Louisiana, Gen.
Randall Gibson, is now a member of Con
gress and is considered one of tiie ablest
and most conservative members of that
body. He was elected to the forty-third
congress, but was denied admission. Be
ginning with the forty-fourth congress he
has served continually in the house. Gen.
Gibson’s term commences on the fourth of
March, 1883.
Whenever the country is able to beat
into the head of the average Southern
Congressmen the fact that the war is over,
why then and not until then, can we ex
pect the Radical politicians to cease how l
ing against the South. Our people should
see to it in future that conservative men,
and not bourbons and politicians, are sent
to Congress from the South.
The Democrats have not made any very
huge blunders within the last twenty-four
hours, but there is no telling what will
happen before the week is out. It should
be borne in mind that in every case the
Democrats do not represent the people.
They only represent themselves and the
professional politicians.
Samuel J. Tiiden is entitled to the Dem
ocratic nomination for President whether
he gets it or not. The people should see
to it that Congressmen are not sent as del
egates to the convention. Men directly
from the people should be sent as dele
gates. _____________
Genenil Grant expresses himself very
much pleased with his Florida trip and
says that he intends to spend his winters
in the “Land of Flowers.” The ex-Presi
dent seems to be perfectly infatuated with
the South. Well, who wouldn’t be?
General Beuj. F. Butler, Massachusetts
standing candidate for Governor, will, in
all probability, be the Greenback-Labor-
Kearney candidate for President. The
approaching Presidential contest is going
to be lively, and don’t you forget it.
The people of the United States ought
to lease the De mocratic party to Samuel J.
Tiiden or some oth<r good Democrat, for
a term of ninety-nine years. We believe
in this lease business and w e hope that
Mr fc Tiiden will make an offer for it.
A young man in South Carolina, an
editor by the name of Preston D. Mood,
committed suicide the either day because
his girl would not marry him. What a
pitty, when they are so many pretty girls
in the country.
General Walker, the Superintendent of
the Census, is having a real hard time
in trying to appoint his Sup. r eisers to suit
i.r re -h We wish Gen ral Walk, rwcll
Georg.’:) Adairs.
Gen rul Gordon and Dr. Felton are still
quarrelling.
Who will be the next Governor of this
commonwealth ?
Governor Bishop, of Ohio, was in Bruns
wick a few days since.
Macon wants the Stato Fair again. Ob,
give to Augusta this time.
The Augusta Chronicle defends General
Gordon from recent attacks.
The next Governor of Georgia will not
be elected by 80,090 majority.
We are glad to know that Savannah is
about to recover her boom again.
The Georgia Press Convention will con
ven • in Cuthbertthe first week in May.
Hon. Thomas M. Norwood, of Savannah,
would make a most excellent Governor for
this State.
About seventeen lawyers in this district
want to go to Congress. Do give the law
yers a chance.
All the maimed ex-confederates are not
yet supplied with limbs. The list has al
ready run over 1,000.
Two colored men fought a duel near Sa
vanna!) a few days ago, and both were
pretty badly wounded.
Augusta lias been contributing liberally
to the Irish relief fund. Several other
cities are doing likewise.
Sweet William Arp says that Atlanta has
lost her boom and that Henry Grady has
gone out West in search of it.
II- nry Grady ought to be mad ■ Piv i
d ut of some big railroad combination.
He understands the business.
Savannah will soon have a tight-rope
performance. Johnson is the colored fel
low s name. He killed a sailor.
Sunday’s issue of the Atlanta Constitu
tion now reaches this office oil Monday
mornings, much to our gratification.
A colored man has sued Rockdale coun
ty for 81 ‘2,000 damages, occasioned by his
falling through a bridge, last August.
The Catholics of Brunswick are going
to build a n-cw brick church in that city
before the winter is over. We wish them
SUCCOHS.
Messrs. S. R. and J. D. Weston have re
tired from the Albany News. Messrs.
Frank Evans and Lott Warren will run
the paper.
X. I. E. comes to the surface again with
another very rich sketch which appeared
in the Atlanta Constitution of Sunday
morning last.
The Central Georgia Weekly speaking
of the next Governorship says that Macon
has a Hard(o)man to bent. Col. J. Alf., is
right about that.
Congressman Felton has explained his
position in regard to the Simmons ap
pointment. We are satisfied with the
doctor’s explanation.
What has become of General R. Toombs?
Is he still for General Grant, and has he
abandoned the idea of stabbing the Union
to death ? We hope so.
Atlanta will give General Grant a huge
reception when he passes through that
city ou his way lroin Mexico. The Gen
eral already has a boom in Atlanta.
Colonel Randall is gathering up all the
latest Washington news and forwarding it
to the Augusta Chronicle. He knocks the
spots out of all other correspondents at
the National capital.
Blodgett has returned to his duties at
St. Mary’s, after illustrating very conclus
ively that he wasn’t as oig a man as he
thought lp3 was. Tom is a young man
and has a heap to learn.
During the year 1873 there were eighty
six failures in Georgia, with liabilities ag
gregating $574,323, against one hundred
a id nineteen failures in 1878, with liabili
ties amounting to $3,738,134. .
Serious objections have been raised to
the appointment of Parson Simmons as
the Supervisor of the Atlanta District.
Gordon opposes him, no doubt, because
he does not live in a large city.
Captain Stephen R. Weston, the esteem
ed Treasurer of the Georgia Press Associa
tion, has retired from journalism. We
regret this exceedingly, for we shall miss
our good friend at the press meetings.
Dr. Tucker, the able editor of the Chris
tian Index, of Atlanta, suggests that edi
tors as a class should be prayed for regu
larly by ministers of the gospel and all
good people. We thoroughly agree with
the doctor.
The Quitman Reporter thinks that Col.
Bill Harris, of Worth county, will be the
next Congressman from the second dis
trict. It would’nt surprise ns at all,as the
Colonel manages to scoop in all the offices
around him.
Ex-Governor Benjamin Conley has been
re-appointed Postmaster of Atlanta. What
has become of the gay and festive Blod
ge.t.the young m n who has’more friends
than anybody else? lias he lost his grip
on the Sherman boom ?
Captain F. G. Mallory, the vetran and
gentlemanly commander of the steamer
“City of Savannah,” which recently had a
collision in New York harbor, bas been re
lieved of command, much to the regret of
his hundred of friends. Capt. Thomas M.
Fleetwood has been appointed in Capt.
Mallory’s place.
The Atlanta Phonograph says: “The
last article of any val ue belonging to Mrs.
Ed. Cox, was raffled the other.day by Mr.
Win. Tanner, and was won by Mr.
Kenney, who sent it back to her. Mr.
Tanner found her on the train going to
her home at Decatur, and when he hand
ed it to her she burst into a flood of tears.
It was her wedding ring, and of course
The Atlanta Constitution, of Tuesday,
says; ‘ A lew .days ago, Judge Login E.
Bleckley, of the .Supreme bench, sent his
resignation to Governor Colquitt. The
Govemof v. as loth to accept it, buU as it
was made unconditional, he was forced to
do so. He appointed on yesterday Judge
Martin J. Crawford, of Columbus, to till
the vacancy. A capital selection. To
fill the vacancy made in the* Muscogee
circuit by the elevationjof Judge Craw
ford to the supreme bench, Mr. Edgar M.
Butt, of Marion county, was .appointed.
Another good selection.”
General John Z. George, for a longtime
chairman of the Mississippi Democratic
State Committee, but now Chief Justice of
that .State, has been elected United States
Senator in place of Blanche K. Brace.
General George is spoken of in the highest
terms as being one of the most conserva
tive men in the South. Wo are gratified
to know that Chalmers, Barksdale, and
the rest of the bonrltonsj were left far be
hind in the race. Wo are glad to see that
the people are coming to their senses and
are sending good men to Congress.
Our esteemed young friend, John G.
.Reardon, Esq., who is, by the way, one of
the brightest young lawyers in the South,
lias connected himself with the Ocala
(Fla.) Banner. That paper is now man
aged by a strong team in the persons of
John G. Reardon and Frank E. Harris,
and we sincerely hope that they will make
a success of it. Our heart is with you,
boys, and “may you live long and pros
per,” say we.
Affairs in Maine continue bad, and it
would really be a good idea for a few
Southern bourbons to imigrate to that fac
tious State. Their moderate idc as about
such affairs would have a soothing effect
on the passions and prejudices of New
England chivalry.
