U. S. Grant, Jr., is to marry the

A Macon correspondent of the
New York Times says there is an

Hon. A. H. Stephens denies a great

Georgia’s position in regard to Mr.

an interview with me, unless you
know it is by authority.” The
Chronicle and Constitutionalist wants
interview “by authority.’’
Another Southern outrage is re
ported, but it happened in Clair

coachman for using most indecent
and profane language to his wife,
and to prevent the coachman shoot

will probably be acquitted; and as
the coachman was not black, and
the shooting was not in the Southern
States, we may suppose it was not
for the purpose of political intimida
tion.
Dennis Kearney thus refers to the
snub Grant gave him: “During the
week, when my intention of visiting
Gen. Grant became known, I was
told that it would be necessary that
I should be introduced by some of
the persons by whom he has been
surrounded since his arrival in this
city. Not being desirous of associa
ting or being identified with this
class of persons, many of whom I
expect to see in the striped gar<
ments s os convicts before another
year rolls round, I declined the prof
fered assistance and went alone, with
the result which I have stated. I
have no comment whatever to make
upon these facts; but the working
men of this country must draw their

Am important Act.
We publish below the full text of
one of the most important acts passed
at the present session of the Legisla
ture. It is a measure in the interest
of the great laboring masses, and
will do more in our opinion to spring
the energies of the country, build up
her waste places, and promote her
prosperity, than any single measure
yet brought to our notice. It will
be noticed that the act contains a
provision altogether different to that
of any former usury law of this State.
In all former laws of this kind, de
fendants could obtain the benefit of
the law only by pleading usury.
This law changes the onus and re
quires the plaintiff when he comes
into court ta show affirmatively that
he himself has obeyed the law in the
contract sued on. This provision
will doubtless go far in preventing
violations or evasions of the law.
The act has been signed by the Gov
ernor and is now the law of the
land,
AN ACT.
To regulate and restrict the rate of
interest in this state and for other
purposes.
Suction 1. The General Assembly
of the State of Georgia do enact—
That from and after the passage
of this act, it shall not be lawful foi
any person, company or corporation
to receive, charge or take f ”
loan or advance of money or
ance to enfore the collection of
-of money, any rate of interest
greater than eight per cent, per an
num, either directly or indirectly, by
way of commissions, for advances,
discount, exchange, or by any con
tract or contrivance or device what
ever.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted.—
That any person, company or cor
poration violating the provisions of
the foregoing section of this act shall
forfeit the interest and the excess of
interest so charged or taken, or con
tracted to be received charged or
taken.
Sec. 3. Be it further enacted.—
That the legal rate of interest shall
remain seven per cent, per annum.
Where the rate per cent, is not named
in the contract, and any higher rate
must be specified in writing; but in
no event to exceed eight per cent, per
annum.
Sec. 4. Be it further enacted—
That in all suits hereafter brought
in any of the courts of this State up
on any account, note, bond, bill,
draft or other evidence of indebted
ness bearing date after the passage
of this act, wherein a greater rate of
interest is claimed then seven per
cent, it shall be incumbent on the
plaintiff’in such suit or action to
show affirmatively by proof, that no
greater or higher rate of interest
than that specified in the contract so
sued upon has been taken, received,
retained, or in any way or manner
secured, so as to be thereafter had
or taken by any device whatever.
Sec. .5 Be it. further enacted.—•
That all laws and parts of laws in
conflict with this act be and the same
are hereby repealed.
Senator Candler and the
Impeachments.
Vv e are somewhat astonished to
learn that an impression has gotten
abroad that senator Candler voted
against the impeachment of Treasur
er Renfroe. Wo are glad to be able
to correct this idea which does sena
tor Candler grave injustice. He
voted to convict both the Comptroll
er and Treasurer, and also in favor
of the resolutions requiring the Gov
ernor to bring suit on the Treasurers
bond for all the interest he has re
ceived. We have the official vote,
and would publish it but for a lack
of space. We hope this statement
will set the senator right.
i’/i'he Ohio Election.
We have little space to devote to the
Ohio election and little heart to,write
about if if we had. Suffice it to say
that the old Buckeye state has gone
republican by a majority of from fif
teen to twenty five thousand, the
democrats admitting the former and
the republicans claiming the latter
figures. Foster republican is el :ct
jtd Governor, and it is believed that
| they have also carried the legi;.iatn» ,r
If so, it ensures a republican
in place of Thurman, aud his .
of being the democratic nominee for
President have been thoroughly
snowed under.
General Gordon’s Speech.
That was a most brilliant speech of
Senator Gordon’s at the Jasper cen
tennial. His powers of oratory were
never displayed to better advantage,
and be held his almost countless au
dience entranced for nearly two
hours. We are sorry that our space
this week will not permit us to re
produce it. We will probably at an
early day give it to our readers in
full; for it is well worth a careful pe
rusal and preservation for future ref
erence.
“Don't Know Halt Their
Value.”
“They cured me of Ague, Bilious
ness and Kidney Complaint, as rec
ommended. I had a bottle left which
I used for my two little girls, who
the doctors and neighbors said could
not be cured. I would have lost
both of them one night if I had not
given them Hop Bitters. They did
them so much good I continued thei>
use until they were cured. That is
why I say you do not know half the
value of Hop Bitters, and do not
recommend them high enough.”—B.,
Rochester, N. Y. See other column.
Our great grand-father and mother
celebrated the 84th year of their

ages are 104 and 101 respectively.—
CURRENT OPINION.
Took Tilt Hint.
Montezuma Weekly.
A young man in Montezuma,
while calling on a young lady, unin
tentionally remarked: “I never did
court a lady in my life unless I was
about half tipsy.” A bottle of wine
and a glass was soon on the table.
How would this do to keep from hur
rying off down town after it? Young
men will make a note of this.
And Stilt They Come.
New York Sun.
The coming of English farmer im
migrants, with cash in their pockets
and a resolute purpose in their hearts,
is a sign of the times. Two parties
of them, aggregating more than five
hundred persons, have already lan
ded here, and have pushed on to the
broad and fertile acres of northern
Texas. Two hundred and fifty more
sailed yesterday from Liverpool for
the same destination. Englands
land system has driven them out.
Bid Them Welcome.
New York Sun.
New York’s welcome to the Milita
ry company from Georgia, that is to
be here to-day should not be less
warm than that extended to them in
Philadelphia. This visit has been
long in contemplation by the Atlanta
Guardsmen. Its object, in addition
to being in the nature of an excur
sion, is to observe the national guard
system of the North, and to profit
thereby. Hence the armories are to
be inspected, and the evolutions of
‘■he regiments watched.
Soldier Rather tlian Statesman.
Savannah News.
Grant’s reception at San Francisco
pleases the New York Nation, which
is not easy pleased,because there was
so little “hippodroming” in it. It
says the enthusiastic welcome ex
tended to him was in his character
of a great General who has deserved
well of his country. He is admired
as a hero and not as a candidate, and,
as the Nation says, “it is difficult to
find words of condemnation suffici
ently strong for the plans, both past
and present, for using this simple
soldier as the head of the machine,
or as the pea with which the mana
gers did their thimble rigging
Grant’s fame, as the war left him,
was one of the national treasures
The politicians did their mortal best
to destroy it, and had he been an
older man they would have succeed
ed. It has happily survived their
snares, and everything should now
be done to keep it intact during the
remainder of his life,” It is to be
feared this will not be—unless it
should be locked away in the vaults
of a safe-deposit company. Happy
are the heroes who die young.
A Conspicuous Reformer.
Atlanta Constitution.
One of the most conspicuous re
formers in the present general as
sembly is the Hon. R. L. McWhorter,
of Greene county. He has been ex
ceedingly vehement in urging inves
tigation, and exceedingly active and
clamorous in trying to hunt up de
linquent officials. For this work we
have been struck with the great
change that has come over his mind
since he was a member of the most
infamous legislative body that ever
assembled in this state. When he
was speaker of the house and when
the rights of the people were wanton
ly and utterly disregarded in every
respect and particular, it is not upon
record that he opened his investiga
ting mouth. He was as quiet as a
lamb; and it was said then, and has
been repeated during the past few
days, that he eat some of the beef.
If the honorable gentleman desires
specifications of the charges, we can
give them to him. He appears to be
so outraged at some one that he
wants the capital removed to Mil
ledgeville. This is exceedingly re
freshing in view of his support of
Atlanta in the recent capital cam
paign, and the. manner in which this
support was secured. If the honor
able gentleman desires specifications
on this charge, they will be forthcom
ing.
But the Hon. R. L. McWhorter
does not stand alone. We have in
our mind another conspicuous refor
mer and would-be capital-mover to
whom we propose to pay our res
pects as soon as we can get ata exem
plification of the record.
W ants a Law Against Nightmare,
Atlanta Post.
But this is not the case with those
who engaged in the late contest of
endurance Each one gives to his
trainer experiences of not only phys
’al but mental torture of most fear
-nd horrible character; while all
.gree that troubled dreams, peopled
with all sorts of mental visions, op
press the pedestrian while endeavor
ing to snatch a few moments’ sleep.
O'Leary asserts that during his last
match in London he never went to
sleep without the shadow of Vaughan
before him. Merritt complains that
when ho closed his eyes he entered
a world of phantoms—veritable spir
its from the “vasty deep,” with faces
distorted and with demonical aspects
and threatenings, peering at him
from the crowd. Guyon averred
that Weston haunted him like a
ghost the moment he closed his eyes
—now breathing hard behind him,
passing him at a superhuman gait.
Anon he is seized with an unquench
able thirst; he lifts a glass of water to
his lips, only to find he cannot drink.
When he would try to make a su
perhuman effort to make up his dis
tance he finds his legs utterly refuse
to move. The colored boy, Hart,
dreamed constantly that he had fal
len among logs covered with im
mense and hideous crawling objects,
some of them with legs as long as
Victor Hugo’s devil fish. At times
he saw a monstrous animal rising
from beneath the tanbark to dispute
his way. Weston and Hazael both
went raving mad, and could only be
controlled by the administration of
opiates. Rowell suffered such phy
sical misery through cramps in the
stomach that it was only by the end
urance of the tortures of the damned
that he was able to keep the track,

into purchasing elsewhere before you come
and inspect my stock.
