There arc three candidates for the piace
besides the present incumbent, viz: Gen.
'Phillips, of Marietta; 'Dr. Bryant, of

'Pennsylvania was the scene of a terrific
storm Monday, the damage from which
will probably reach $350,000. The
storm appears to have been confined to
the western portion of tLe State aud was
the most severe kuown for years. Houses
were flooded aud struck by lightning,
•crops destroyed and trees and fences wash
ed away. Almost every railroad enter
ing Pittsburg suffered from land slides
•and washouts, but the fury of the ele
•nicnts was probably the greatest along the
Pittsburg aud Western road.
A young printer named Augustus Byrd,
of Atlanta, was struck by a railroad train
iu Philadelphia and instantly killed, oti ,
Saturday night last, lie and a ccmpan- <
ion named Curreu, a telegraph operator, 1
were ou tlieir way to New York in search !
of work. The latter saved himself from (
the same fate by lying down between the ,
Tracks on which trains were passing in op- :
positc directions. The body of young
Jtyrd was sent back to Atlanta for inter
ment.
The beer guzzlers of Atlanta were very
much elated on Saturday last at the appa
rent jtrosjiect of being able to get a cool
drink of beer at tire United States mili
tary camps, near Atlanta, wheu they so
desired. A Dr. t’oheu had informed a
Comlil niton reporter that lie was going
to establish a beer shop there the next
day, and die fact was published iu Satur
day's Coaxltfuiion. An interview with
llto officers of die post, which was pub- ;
in Monday's paper, took all the
wind ont <«f the tails of tiw expectant
beer drinkers. The reporter was inform
ed that to such |>rivilegc liad beeu given J

Major Bacon’s Better.
'flic daily papers of the State which
supported Major Bacon during the cani-
I paign published a lengthy letter from his
pen Sunday, addressed to Ids friends in
the Democratic party, lie said that it
! was not his purpose to prohibit his name
from going before the Gubernatorial Con
vention. That ho considers he was but
tlio representative of these who wish to
fight Tor purer methods’within the party,
I atid therefore wished the vote registered.
In the course of his letter he gives ex
! pression to the following rather • remarka
j ble charges:
In making this fight I have had to con
tend with odds such as never before con
fronted one in a political contest iu this
iiiate. The victory has been won by my
'opponents by the active exertion of the
Murgest official influence and patronage, by
the command of pecuniary resources Which
far exceeded any which could be furnish
i by me, 2nd also by skilful management
n' iu the astr of means, some of which Was
legitimate, aud much was neither legiti
mate nor excusable.
The stake for which my adversary play
ed was the control of the Slate Road, and
• of the claim of $2,000,000 for betterments
t on the same; also for the control of the
I jfconvict lease, and of the issue of $ 1,500,-
000 of State bonds, as well as that of the
annual revenues of the State. It was an
immense stake, and they played for it des
perately-and skillfully.
The Augusta Chronicle , which warmly
supported Major Bacon, commenting on
the letter, does not indorse the second of
these chargis, and says editorially:
We take no stock 'in the charge that
Gen. Gordon and his friends intend to
make money out of the State road, and we
do not intend to discount Gen. Gordon’s
f administration, or diparage it in advance,
simply because we supported Major Ba
con. If Gen. Gordon was disposed to do
wrong in the management of the high of
fice which will ho committed to his trust,
which we do not for one moment suppose,
lie will have to call to his f.id the Gener
al Assembly elected to protect tire inter
ests of the people. Wo shall give to Gen.
Gordon’s administration ’a fair and impar
tial support.
It is not likely that many of the papers
that supported Major Bacon will take any
stock in these charges, and wo think
•Major Bacon made an -egregious mistake
in giving utterance to them. Indeed, it
sounds to us very much like the wail of a
badly disappointed man.
In reply to the oft repeated charge that
Gordon aud his friends had ■spent such
enormous sums of money in the campaign,
and which Major Bacon repeats in his let
ter, tlio Atlanta Const’itultra of Tuesday
answers thus boldly:
'file Bacon organs, and Mr. Bacon him
self, have had a great deal to say about
the enormous amounts of money spent in
the late canipaiu by the friends of Gener
al Gordon.
The lowest figures offered as the cost of
Gen. Gordon’s campaign is $50,000. liv
en SIOO,OOO is trippingly spoken of as a
I'Casouahle estimate of the money spent in
making his way easy to the gubernatorial
chair. We have not taken the trouble to
deny these absurd stories.
It is quite natural for the men vfio as
sumed to he bosses, and were shown to ho
blunderers and braggarts, to assign some
extraneous cause for tlieir crushing defeat.
It is easier for them to say that the people
were debauched by gold than to acknowl
edge that they turned away from them in
indignation and disgust and rallied to Gor
don in love aud enthusiasm. Hence they
have charged openly aud barefacedly that
enormous sums of money were sent out to
debauch the.public conscience and buy
the popular franchise, and that they were
beaten by ceaseless streams of money
which aggregated from $50,000 to SIOO,-
000 in amount. These oharges affect tlio
good name of the people of Georgia—and
especially the good name of the people
who rallied to the standard of Gen. Gor
dou—and we propose now to put ttteui at
rest forever.
We assert, not by ticarsay, hut positive
ly aud upon our own responsibility, that
the entire cost of Gen. Gordon’s campaign,
from first to last, was less than $4,000.
It was considerably less than this, but that
every possible item yet unpaid may be in
cluded, we put the outside figures at $4,-
000. This includes every dollar speut
for postage, printing, telegraphing, (which
item alone was several hundred dollars,)
expense of messengers, traveling expens
es, and for every possible expense—con
tingent or remote, direct or indirect. We
assert further that every dollar contribut
ed to this fund, by any person or persons,
or corporations, outside of Gen. Gordon’s
own personal means, will not make a sum
as great as that contributed by friends in
Savannah to Major Bacon’s campaign
fund and publicly acknowledged -in the
Macon TcVegrapli, viz : SI,OOO.
We go further. Mr. Patrick Walsh
was one of the staunchest supporters that
Mr. Bacon had in the last campaign. He
fought for him steadily, earnestly, sijcere*
!y. He is a gentleman of high character
and ability. His shrewdness to detect
and his courage to speak the truth as he
sees it aie admitted. Now we are ready
to put Mr. Walsh iu full and complete
possession of the hooks, cheeks and memo
randa of t lie campaign—to bring before,
him every man who had anything whatev
er to do with its management- -to give
him the testimony of the campaign com
mittee, and any other data or testimony
he may want, or that the fulkst research
may suggest. Then, if after all this is
done, Mr. Walsh is not so fully satisfied
that he lias been to the bottom of the cuui-
I paigrj expenditures, that he will come out
| over his own signature and certify that
the total does not and cannot reach $4,-
000, we will withdraw all we have said in
this article, and let the matter stand where
it stood before this article was written.
This offer is made in the utmost good
faith and sincerity, and without any con
sultation with Mr. Walsh or his friends.
Let us repeat it. We as-.ert, iu the most
positive terms, that the entire cost, direct
and remote, of the la'c campaign to the
! Gordon side, -was less tiian $4,000; (hat
less than SI,OOO of ibis was contributed
| by all persons ttutsido of Gen. Gordon;
I that no corporation contributed one dollar,
and r-3 propose to submit the fullest data
j to Support this proposition to Mr. Patrick
i Walsh, a strong Bacon man, who will be
| in Atlanta this week, and accept his state
ment on the Subject. This proposition is
i open until it is accepted.
We offer these statements in defense of
the good name of the people nf Georgia.
If there is an unpurchasablc and incor
ruptible community on this earth it is the
honest iron-ribbed democracy of Georgia,
and the men who insult them with the in
sinuation that they have been bought know
this to he true. Ts there ever was a fol
lowing tl at rallied in response to high and
noble enthusiasms, amt tootit’esrtfay above
all that is sordid or mean, it is tire men
who supported John B. Gordon iu the late
contest. These men, as well as the men
who voted against hiui, could not bo bo’t
or bribed, and lie -who says they have
been, utters a baseless and wanton slander.
If General Gordon had been beaten,‘we
should have accepted Ins de'eat frankly
and have charged nothing to the disgrace
of his opponents. These charges of the
■ illegitimate use of money are disgraceful.
When made specifically they have been
specifically denied. "Vie now enter this
general denial made in as positive terms
as we'have at our command, and backed
by as fair a proposition as we know how to
make. Until this is accepted, in all de
cency’s sake, let us hear'fio more of these
outrageous charges.

The Mexican War Cloud.
Savannah Morning News: The voice of
Texas is for war. Texans think that Mex
ico ought to be taught that she canno-t iu
flict indignities on American Citizens with
impunity, anil that is the sentiment, doubt
less, of nine-tenths 6f the poopte of this
country.
The trouble is about editor Cutting, an
American citizen of'fcl'Passo, *Pdx.,' who
has been seized and thrust into a Mexi
can dungeon at Paso del Norte without
good reason. The hitter place is just
across the llio Grande from El Paso.
Secretary Bayard liars demanded tlio
unconditional release of Mr. Cutting, and
Consul Bingham and Minister Jackson
havc liad occasion to take pavtin the mat
ter. Mr. Bayard has shown himself to
he very firm, and even peremptory, where
the liberty of an American citizen'rs con
cerned,-and Mexico, if -she is wise, will
uot hesitate about releasing Mr. Cutting.
It will be remembered that Ec'tfador a
few months ago was slow in heeding Mr.
Bayard’s demand for llie release of Santos,
a naturalized American citizen, but when
an American war vessel appcarjjjl to back
up the demaud his prison doors flow open
very quickly.
Mexico appears to be stubborn about
releasing Mr. Cutting. It can hardly be
possible that she Wants to have trouble
with this country. She certainly has no
thing to gaiu by it. There are enough
men in Texas alone who would like noth
ing better than to be authorized to go to
Paso del Norte and batter down the j.-iil
in which Mr. Cutting is confined. They
would regard such an undertaking «s a
•sort of a piCni’c.
Tlio dispatches indicate that there Is
considerable excitement in Texas and in
Mexico. Within'tlic last day or two a
large body of Mexican troops has been
quartered at Paso del Norte. This would
sccui to indicate a determination to hold
on-to Mr. Gutting. Mr. Bayard can lie
depended upon to stand firmly by the po
sition lie has taken. He has -been criti-.
cised for what has seemed to be timidity
in the fishery matter, but the fact that
that matter is a complicated one, and can
not be dealt with iu a peremptory way,
has been to a great extent overlooked.
There need be no fear that in this affair
with Mexico he will pursue a policy which’
will fee open to the criticism of being
timid:
The Washington correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution says: “Congressman
Lauliam, who represents the Texas dis
trict directly ’threatened by .Mexican mil
itary manouvers, to-day had a long inter
view with the Secretary of States Bay
ard said be had assurances from the .Mex
ican government that editor Cutting would
soon be released. The Jl/exicau authori
ties also disclaim that the movement of
their troops a’eng the Texas border Las
any reference to a possible complication
over the arrest of Cutting. Mr. Lanharn
says the affair lias been greatly exaggerat
ed, and that there is not the least danger
of troublo with .Mexico.
Lord Salisbury has received the queen’s
command to form a new cabinet. We
[ predict that Gladstone will early triumph
agaiu aud supersede Salisbury as premier.
Pulled.
The News <s" Advertiser of Tuesday
tells how city marshal Westbrook, of Al
bany, “pulled a poker room between two
end three o’clock on Sunday morning, ar.d
interrupted a ‘quiet game’ that was going
on between half a dozen of ‘the boys.’
‘Tiiey' vere'ttf! ‘tuken in,’ but were allow
ed to go upon their own recognizance un
til Monday morning.
Cases were f.rst maco against the six
I sinners in the city court, but the Mayor,
j fearing that he didn’t have sufficient juris
: diction to deal with them in such terms
as would-be calculated to reclaim them
from the forbidden path into which they
had strayed, turned their cases over to
the tender mercy of Judge Jones, of the
County Court. A plea of guilty was
made in each case, and a fine of $25 and
costs was imposed upon each of the six
sinners. It made a regular picnic fir
County Court Solicitor Oliver.
The room where the game was going on
was over Harris’s beer saloon, on Bread
street, and was tfeo composing room of the
Medium before that paper suspended.
Marshal Westbrook found out that gamb
ling was going on there, and dropped sev
eral bints where lie thought they might
do good, hoping that the keeper of the
room would take warning and abandon the
business; but when be-saw that no atten
tion was being paid to these warnings he
determined to make a-raid.
‘The boys’ have all promised to ‘go anti
sin no more,’ and the News <s' Advertiser,
in view of this fact, ar.d out of regard for
the feelings of ‘their mothers, their sis
ters, their eftusius and tlieir aunts,’ will
not publish their names. The News and
Advertiser would not feci like it was do
ing its duty, however, if it did not pub
lish the facts in tho case and commend
City Marshal Westbrook for what, be has
done. lie did nothing more than bis du
ty, but ‘-it-was an unpleasant duty, and
one which is t-oo often dodged by officers.”
The outlook for the river and harbor
bill ill Congress is said to be gloomy.
The latest ne'ws"we have through exchang
es says the apparently irreconcilable dif
ferences between the senate and house re
lates to the appropriations for canals, the
chief obstacle being the Hennepin job.
When the house gave a. formal approval
to the senate amendment putting Ilonne
.pin in the bill, it was expressly declared
that the issue-was to bo made in confer
ence. It has been made and the houses
are -equally obstinate, the senate persist
ing in its demand for the Hennepin appro
priation and the house as resolutely rt-
Arsii*g it. The.present conferees may be
discharged tomorrow and others appointed,
but some of tho best friends of the bill
are despondent of its passage. The fail
ure of this bill following the failure of
the bill fdr last year would be disastrous
to many improvements now under way, on
which millions have been expended. A
bill introduced by Mr. llreckenridge, es
Arkansas, appropriating $10,000,000 to
be expended on rivers ar.d harbors in tke
discretion of the secretary of war, has go
.project of acceptance. It will be the
committee bill or none.
