“Mrs. Hayes is the real democrat of
the presidential party, and the ‘Hayes
policy’ tuay be justly set down to her
credit.”—Frankfort Yeoman.
There is, doubtless, much truth in
this; audit is not the only instance
where woman's influence and better tia
ture have relieved the oppressions of a
people. The wile of every man, who
holds an office cf much responsibility,
should be a good woman, and we have
no doubt that Mrs. Hayes is.
Stay President Hayes has done many
1 things for the South, and if he
proposes to continue in his good work,
let him fill the vacancy on the Supreme
Court bench, by appointing Herschell
V. .Johnson. He couldn’t select a bet
tor man. Every Southerner and every
rjoht feeling Northern man would ap
prove the appointment.
jßf£2rThonms Scrambler Owden has
been elected Lord Mayor of London,
but strange to say, he was no Scram
bler lor the office.
Thu above pun we got off yesterday
evening, after long and serious thought,
and now submit it, on its own merits,
to the sharp criticisms of an unfeeling
public.
Lo ! The I’oor Kiissistn
The war like Turks are still holding
their own around Plevna. Every at
tack of the Russians has met with re
pulse, and now their armies arc dcnior
alized and gloomy. Hut the Czar has
gone home, and his soldiers will doubt
less do better.
Port Itoytii.
This little town, on the South Caro
lina coast, emptied most of its inhabi
tants on last Monday, who left on ac
count of Yellow Fever which was re
ported to have broken out there. The
doctors, however, pronounce it a severe
type of malarial fever. Augusta has
established quarantine against Port
Royal.
Latihi —The epidemic has proved
to be Yellow Fever.
Tlie F .'inline.
The famine in India has grown to
•fearful proportions. The dispatches
‘State that the people are dying up by
-the million, that women are trying to
sell their children for food, and, in ma
ny cases, they are actually eating their
own offspring. England sceuis to be
unable to relieve the sufferings of her
subjects.
Itonler Kaitlit,
w e commend the action of the Texas
Slate authorities in organizing the
date uiilitia for the purpose of putting
n stop to Mexican raids on her territo
ry. People know very well, and Texans
.'specially, that it is useless to appeal to
a Mexican’s sense of justice, for
he has none ; they have .waited long
nd patiently too, for the United States
j interfere, hut she doesn’t seem dis
osed to do so and now Texas has eon
-1 tided that the only way te -stop these
• irder robbers, is to take the u utter in
r own bands, and deal with them
with powder and ball.
CAPITAL NOTES.
THE GLITTERING PRIZE.
OUR NEXT T. S. SENATOR.
HIE MEN WHO ARE WiLLINC
TO SERVE.
{Special Correspondence for tire Jlki:ai.i>.
Atlanta, Wednesday, Oct. 3.
The tiling about which everybody is
talking must, is the Capital question,
but I have heard so much of that stufi
that I must look lor some other more
pleasant theme to work into a letter. —
M illedgeville and Atlanta a,e ready to
fly at each other's throats, and though
we, up here, are sure of the justice ol
our cause and our ultimate and coni'
plcte success, yet there is enough two
iidedness in the issue to make its event
matter of speculation and doubt to a
rcat many on both sides.
Recently there has been prominently
irought before the public mind a mat
er which is not only of deep interest
i us, hut to the whole couutry. lal
dc to the election of a United States
Senator to succeed General Gordon.—
This election will take place under the
new Constitution in November, 1878,
but the Legislature that is to make the
important choice, will be elected in De
cember next. Hence it is very well to
discuss the question now, so that the
people may choose Representatives who
will vole according to their wish.
There is no more tempting prize for
political ambition than a seat in the
United States Senate —our House of
Lords, and nine-tenths of the men who
scramble into the lower house, expect
some day to sit serenely in the loftier
seats of that great representative body
of American statesmanship - Hence
we will have no scarcity of candidates.
It is said that some of them are already
at work to secure the prize. General
Gordon is, of course, a candidate for
re election, and his chances are the
best in the field. He has made a good
Senator. Though he is not considered
by many, one of our ablest men, yet all
admit that be has made the very best
use of his natural powers, and has bjien
in every issue diligent and earnest in
the interests of his State. He bap a
wide influence at Washington, where
his personal popularity is remarkable.
His pleasant address, frank manners
and attractive personal appearance,
make him more powerful in the silent
outside woik than in the noisy conflict
of debate. Taken altogether, he has
done so well that he has surprised his
friends and disconcerted the lew per
sonal enemies he has in Georgia. Hut
there is fast developing a strong oppo
sition to hi.s re-election. Joe Brown’s
influence is dead nguiust him Bob
Toombs don’t admire him much; and
ex-Gov. Smith expresses his opinions
of our honored Senator in very blunt
and rough language. There are other
elements of opposition. Enough is al
ready apparent to shew that he will
have a lively tight lor his scat, and the
election of anew man would by no
means surprise tnc. Gordon enjoys
one great advantage besides his home
popularity. There is a strong outsido
pressure for him. A number of the
leading Democratic papers in the coun
try have already asked his re election.
The leaders of the party of the North,
desire it, butsime folks nearer home
intend to do all they can to prevent it.
Joe Brown’s attack through the news
papers on Gordon’s career during the
I‘residentiil fraud hart its weight with
some people, especially with that old
fogy element which looks upon any
compromise with suspicion. The peo
ple have a sort of love for the ‘•filli
busters v who would have fought the
shameful fraud to the bitter end. It
is said that Joe Brown will be urged
for the Senate. If he runs ho will be
elected. Ime n this, that if he enters
the race he will first he sure that he
has it won. for lie is too cautious to
precipitate himself into the leadership
of a forlone hope. Boh Toouibs has a
host of friends who would like to see
him bach on the scene of his old time
fights and victories. But he really
cares very little for such an honor now.
If llerseb'cl Johnson does not get. a
place on the Supreme Bench of the
United States, as he probably will, he
may prove a troublesome element in
the race, l’arson Felton would like
to eome in hut he can’t rule the State
as he does the seventh district, whose
suffrage he carries about in his breeches
pocket. Norwood will try to rise again
to his ancient Senatorial dignity hut
Ben. Hill's triumph was the death
knell ol his political hopes, A dozen
other men want the honor, but most of
them have poor claims to present. It
now seems that the lucky man will be
one of two aspirants. Gordon or
Brown. Present chances favor Gor
don but Brown is awful in a long race
and may come in a week or two ahead
and for him that is a long way.
AJACKS.
jj s’Tliero seems to be very
little doubt throughout the coun
try that Randall will be the
Speaker of thcll ousc when Con
gress meets next week Cox is
generally spoken of as the man
who will be put up against him,
but his chance are slim.
