This is not looked upon with favor

The legislature of Maine have elec

On Wednesday the telegraph re
ported that Hon. A. H. Stephens had
been attacked with neuralgia of the
bowels and was in a worse condition
physically than he had been for
years. Also that Representative
Hartridge was in a oritical condition
from incipient pneumonia.
Dr. Blackburn, of the Madison
Home Journal has changed the name
of his excellent paper to the Madiso
nian. Very appropriate but we oan
hardly say as much for the type in
which the heading is printed. He
must have been dealing with some
antiquary who had a lot of the first
type ever made.
Maj. L. W. Pou, of Madison, com

York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
will elect republicans.
On the 2nd inst, one of the most
brilliant weddings that has taken
place in the metropolis in years, was
celebrated. It was the marriage of
Rev. Mr. Wetherell, assistant rector
of Trinity church, and Miss Katie
Smith, grand niece of Mrs. A. T.
Stewart. The whole affair, including
the church decorations are described
as elegant and magnificent.
It is with profouued regret that
we announce the death of the Hon.
Julian Hart ridge, which occurred
at Wasbtngton city on Wednesday
morning. Mr. Hartridge was one of
the leading members of the house of
representatives and one of the bright
lights in that body from the South.
The loss of such a man is a public
calamity and the whole country will
be shocked by the sad intelligence.
Mr. E. P. Speer, the editor of the
Old Capital, at Milledgeville, has con
oluded to suspend that paper and be
gin in its stead the publication of an
evening paper in Macon, to be called
the Evening Ledger. Gene is ever
restless and this fact as much as any
other prevents him from becoming
one of the most distinguished journ
alists in the State After publishing
the Old Capital about eighteen
months and making for it a splendid
reputation and paying business his
restlessness leads him to change base
ag-nn. We hope and believe, how
ever, that the newspaper will be quite
as bright and spicy as the old one
Mr. Speer is a graceful writer and
will doubtless have a better field for
his racy, versatile pen. He will be
assisted by Mr. Bridges Smith as
publisher, and Mr. Seifert as business
manager. A strong team and we
wish them abundant stu**M.
An Amendment Needed.
Now that the elections are all over
we desire to say a few words in ref
erence to an evil which has attended
every one of them and which cries
aloud for reform. We refer to the
immense amount of drunkenness and
the free use of liquor on election
days in and around the precincts.
There is a law on the statute books
of our State which prohibits ihe sale
of liquor on election days in certain
distances of the polls and requires all
dealers to close their places of busi
ness. This law was passed by the
legislature to prevent drunkenness
among the people around the elec
tion precincts and to keep down dis
turbances, But the question is, does
the law accomplish the end of its
enactment or is it not rather a dead
letter in many localities ? We know
that in most places the law is appa
rently carried out as far as the clos
ing of liquor houses is concerned
and in some places dealers abide the
requirement in good faith, and do
not have a back or side entrance for
customers to slip in and drink them
Belves full. But the evasions of the
statute are so numerous and produc
tive of the very results which the law
was intended to prevent, that it is
a question if it would not be better
to repeal the law as it now s. Cer
tain it is, that, as far as one can
judge, there is mo less liqn >r drunk
t.'iff there would b* if • retail
• - • > wh m believe
■ ; is mor- drunk ucauae
he uianr-er in which the drinking i
don makes mauy drunk who would
not become so, if they hd a chance
to take it iu the usual way at the
counters. We are no champions of
the liquor dealers or advocates of
bar-rooms in any way, but our ob
ject is to try to find out some way to
stop the large amount of drunkeness
at elections, which is so disgusting
to decent and temperate citizens.
There is, at present no lack of liquor
to be had at any of the precincts.
Men knowing that the saloon will be
doted, buy up their supply the day
before and? jugs and bottles are
stored away in all sorts of places or
carried around in the pockets of those
who feel that they are not free oiti
zens unless they are full of the “rosy.’
Then again, very many of the can
didates find it a necessity to be very
liberal in dispensing treats to voters
and in consequence they furnish
large supplies which are kept in
some convenient room where ail who
desire can have aocees to it. In this
way the law against the sale or liquor
is made of no effect. This matter
needs to be remedied and that
speedily, If we pretend to be a civ
ilized, enlightened republic, elections
should be conducted in n decent way
and without the accompaniment of
the disgusting debauchery which is
now so common. And if we are to
have a law to prohibit liquor drink
ing at election precincts it should be
made effective by proper penalties
and means of enforcing it.
We call upon our general assem
bly to take this ,matter into serious
consideration, and if possible, devise
some means that will not only pre
vent the sale of liquor at elections,
but that will stop the driuking of it.
If drunkenness is ever a crime, it is
certainly one when it interferes in
any way with the free and untram
meled exercise of that greatest privi
lege of the American citizen, the
right to vote.
Death of Caleb Cushing
Last Friday the telegraph brought
the intelligence of the death of Hon.
Caleb Cushing, of Massachusetts,
after an illness of some weeks. Mr.
Cushing was born with the century,
being within a few days of his 79th
birthday when he died, and his name
has been prominently before the
country for more than 60 years. He
was a lawyer and attained high rank
in his profession,being employed for
the last twenty five years in one of
the most important suits before the
U. S Supreme court, and was consid
ered first olass authority on most
questions of a legal nature. He was
also a literateur of fine abilities and
standing and was a frequent contrib
utor to the magazines. His public
services have extended through fifty
years and he has held some very im
portant position. The most promi
nent of these was as Commissioner
to China in 1843, and Brigadier
General in the Mexican war.
Justice of the Massac nusett’s Su
preme court in 1862, United States
attorney General in 1863, President
of the National democratic conven
tion, at Charleston S. C. in 1860
>
council for the United States at Ge
neva in 1872, and Minister to Spain
in 1873. Besides these places he
held many others less important
being over and over again elected to
the Massachusetts legislature. His
long life was active and duvoted to
the public. He was a man of emi
nent ability and his death will be
generally regretted.
In nearly every one of our ex
changes for the past week the head
ing “Results of the election,” is
prominent. We notice that in al
most every county where a nomina
tion was made by the democrats,
that ticket was successful.
Savannah,Darian, and other points
in Southern Georgia were visited by
a snow storm on the sth. This is the
first time they have had snow an inch
.deep in fifty years. It is quite a cn
momkf to the people of that aeetioe.

Mr. Hill's new Departure.
“Sanders viille Herald.”
The result of the recent bond in
vestigation has soured Mr. Ben
Hill’s temper to such an extent that
he begins to labor under the impres
sion that the fate of the democratic
party m Georgia is sealed, unless
the legislature at the meeting in next
Jnlv rejects the report of the majori
ty of that committee. If the ties
that bind Mr. Hill to the democratic
party hang on as slender a tenure
as thi3,the sooner he shows his prop
er colors the better it will be for the
party. His restiveness has been ap
parent for some time.
Mrs, Senator Gordon.
Mile. Mnnpin in Chicago Times.
Some people were speaking the
other day of the . regularity with
which Mrs. Senator Gordon attends
the sessions of the senate,' and the
keen interest with which she watches
the debates. One of the party said
that she is so devoted to her hus
band that she always goes with him
everywhere. During the war she
took her two little boys, one almost
a baby, and lived with her husband
iu camp, following him into battle, in
fact, sharing all the danger with him.
She had an ambulance at her service
and it was in this that she used to
follow him. When he was so seri
ously wounded she had her ambu
lance driven right into the battle
field, and had him pulled out from
among the dead and wounded and
placed in the ambulance, and sho
drove off with him. All of this was
done under a heavy fire, and the
cover of the ambulance was pierced
with bullet-holes Someone said to
her: “How could you have the nerve
to do it?” “Why,” replied Mrs.
Gordon, “I did not think any more
of it than I should of pulling one of
my boys out of the fire if he had
fallen in.”
Mr. Hill and the Interviewers.
Hon. B. H. Hill is at great pains
to convince everybody in Washing
ton, especially t ese “snappers up of
unconsidered trifles,” the Bohemian
interviewers of the press, that he is
not making any war on Governor
Colquitt, but that, on the contrary,
he is a warm friend of the Governor,
and desires above all things to pro
tect him from the bad men by whom
he is surrounded, It is very evident
that Mr. Hill has learned by this time
that Governor Colquitt' has a stron
ger hold on the respect and confi
dence of the people of the state than
he has himself, and that his late
efforts to destroy the Governor and
the democratic party of Georgia are
more likely to recoil upon his own
head than to effect the object for
which they were intended. If Mr.
Hill has read carefully the Georgia
papers since the publication of his re
markable interview with the corres
pondent of the Baltimore GazeJte, he
cannot have failed to learn that it is
a dangeorous thing for a man in his
position to deal in “diabolical insinu
ations and damnable inuendbes,”
even when covered with the pretense
of good will, and filtered through the
lines of an irresponsible chronicler of
political and personal scanda’-J’—iSi

THE GEORGIA BAPTIST SEMINARY.
Hall Count y, Georgia-
For the Education of Young Ladies.
The Spring term will open Monday, the 6th of January next. A fall corps of instrue-,
tion will be ready for the several departments of Science, Literature, Music, Fine Arts,
and the varions elementary branches of theoretioal and practical education, suitable for
daughters. In the short space o jfour months, the Seminary has stepped out upon the
area of action, unfurled her banner for the education of young ladies, and now challenges
comparison, in order and efficiency, with similar institutions in the South, hewever pre
tentious or venerable with age. The price3 of provisions—corn, meat, lard, fl ur—ars
lower than ever since the war. Our people have become poorer and poorer. 0 W ages
have gone so low that the daily laborer can scarcely support his family, inaoh less educate
his children. Tuition and board for girls ought to be reduced accordingly. We have
made - bold step in that direction. Oar rates are from 25 to 50 per cent, less than those
ot any similar Coliege i Georgia. S6B to SB4 will pay for board, tuition, fuel, lights, for
our long term, which will end June 26.
