—— —Mir
This pen shall never weary till the
manner of choosing fudges in this
state is changed,and they are appoint
ed by the governor.
Wf. djtwi belifeve another man in
the Union except Grover Cleveland,
canid have routed the republicans
frony thflr strong hold.
Bi/mNe is ready to raise an army to
defeat the will of the majority be
cause it decides against him. He
tries to arouse the spirit of the great
Northwest against the Union.
Tim Democrats control the legisla
ture in Illinois, and will elect a suc
cessotte senator Logan. Thus the
republican candidate fo* vice-presi
dent Will bs left all the way round.
Whkn so grave doubts as to Cleve
land’s olociiou were being expressed,
Gen. Coombs remarked that it had
been to long since the democrats had
a goad thing, they couldn’t believe it.
Atlanta will have a grand state
jubilee over the oloctien of Cleveland
and Hendrick*, next Thursday,
Thanksgiving* day. Great prepara
tions are being made aid the demon
stratum Will be one worthy of the
state and of this year of Jubilee.
S.i ,u... —-
The papers of the state are very
Industriously circulating a little para
graph W *ho effect that Gen. Toombs'
vote in the late cloetion, was the first
ballot he has cast since Hie war. This
is altogether a mistake, for wo have
seen him vote at several elections.
$f w f ‘" •i’? 1
Tm, chickens have como homo to
roost. Tha republicans put the ballot
in the aegro’s hand for the purpose
nf controlling the South and humilia
ting the spirit of the people whose
fortunes had been ernahed by the
war; and now the Southern people
have routed the BhilisUnos, slain
Goliath aud cut off his head with his
own sword.

Tint Bov. Dr. Burchard is agonizing
over the thought that possibly his ut
terance of “rum, romanlsm and re
bellion,” aided in defeating his friend
Blaine, Lai the doctor continue to
agonize, yttd thus illustrate the fact
that imutftera of the gospel should
make religion (hair chief concern and
let politics alone, or else take off their
cloth before they begin throwing
mud. ,
The lagiatetnre will fall far short of
one of the' gteatost demand# of the
times if It fail# to change the manner
of selecting judge# in this state. Kvery
posssilde safeguard should be thrown
around the bench, and its purity can
not ho preserved when tho cheesing
of judges is subjected to such whole
sale trading as Is now indulged In by
legislators from dlllbrenl parts of tna
state.
Pn it si p ent - Elect Cleveland has
ordered his secretary todestroy appli
cations for office that are pouring In
upon iiim by every mail, without
showing them to him. This indicates
that he is going to make a model
president, looking solely to tbe public
interest,,and letting private indivi
duals lookout for,.themselves till the
proper tiuaotfor appointing good men
to office.
Mr. Geohue I. Senev, the well
knownphiianthropist, has visited At
lanta. Macon, Athens and Oxford dur
ing thepast week. Everywhere the
poople have delighted to do him hon
or and they honor themselves In hon
oring a matt of such noblo-hearted
generosity. Georgia will long sing the
tho man who ha# visited
such lavish benoficcnco upon her edu
cational institutions. This is Mr. Sa
liev’s first visit to our state.
Mu. Biiaink also complains that all
the United States senators from the
South, without a single exception,
were noted participants in the war.
This is true, and wo are glad indeed
that it is; for no man who did not
defend his home from an invading
foe, deserted to be raised to positious
of honor and distinction. Now that
peace has been declared, these hon
orable gentlemen have Istt oil' fighting
but when there is no fighting to be
done Blaine grows very warlike.
In his spiteful speech last Tuesday
night, Blaine complained that cn(ran
ehisiug the negroes of the South adds
forty-two votes in the electoral col
lege, and that ho did not got one of
them. He pretends to take tills as
prima facie evidence that murder and
outrage keep the negroes from the
polls in the South. If there is any
thing that the negroes are tried of, it
is voting the republican ticket. They
have simply beenjused by republicans
as tools; they have found this out,
and are very outspoken id saying
that all the ffcvors they, have received
since they were fiaapd, have come
from the white people of the South.
M ! % ►
Sen ator Joseph E. Brow* wk* res.
elected by the legislature Tuesday. It
is strange indeed that’record the Gov.
Brown has made in the state should
be so completely overlooked. The
men who support him now acknowl
edge themselves craven. It is true
the Senator makes a good demo
crat now. for it is decidedly to his in
terest. But where is the man who
does not believes he would sacrifice
his stato and his party should their
Interests conflict with his ?
Blaine complains of imaginary re
bellious tendencies in tho Heuth just
as if she had nevei voted for a North
ern man for President. The South
has not only done this, but she gave
her solid endorsement to a candidate
for president who fought heron tho
Add, and who when he was nomina
ted had a commission iti tils pocket as
a general in the United States army.
The truth is that the South is more
firmly fixed in the Union than the de
feated candidate of the republican
party, for he Is virtually urging rebel
lion against the will of the majority .
Ma. Walsh of the Augusta Chron
icle, and Mr. Dawson of the Charles
ton New* and Courier have Just had
a lively bout over tho credit duo to
Tammany In the election of Cleveland.
Mr. Walsh has rather {quashed the
rhetorician of the News and Courier,
for like the senior senator from Geor
gia, hie political record can not stand
the racket when party fidelity is un
der discussion. Tammany was always
true Dawson was hot; and armed
with these facts noblo Pat Walsh
knocked the Carolinian into a cocked
hat. It is the universal opinion in
this part of tho country that great
credit is dao to Tammany fbr Clovo
land’s election.
W* hoartllyjoin in saying,“turn the
rascals out,” but wo take no stoek in
the ether saying, “to the vlelori be
long tho spoils.” Party interear*
should never be made superior to
public good, and if the democrats in
sist that shall, they will find that de
feat in 1888 will be inevitable. All
offices should be filled with good aud
efficient men, with duo regard to the
wishes of the people who may eome
in contact with these officials. In
this ftoo country tho will of the peo
ple should always bo respected. Bat
officials who are acceptable to the
people and the department under
which they serve, should nit be dis
placed simply to satisfy the insatiate
victor* who claim tho spoils.
Georgia's new oapitol should bo
built of Georgia material if it is pos
sible to do so without violating con
tracts already entered into. And if
contracts can be satisfied without too
great a loss, the peoplo of the slate
would be glad to see it done, and
would willingly pay one hundred
thousand dollars more to see the
eapitol built of Georgia marble or
granite. And especially as these ma
terials of such excellent quality,
abound in onr state. Besides the
fact that Georgians could point with
pride to a magnificent building erec
ted with stone taken from the bowels
of their own state, it would greatly
aid in developing an industry tbnt
will be worth millions of dollars to
Georgia.
Miss Bkcrt Jones, tbe recalcitrant
witness in the Hanimcrsley will case
in New York, has been in jail just
six mouths,and it is said she hat at last
become tired of her confinement, and
lias employed a lawyer to make an ef
tort to secure lior release. She doe*
not propose, however, to purge her
self of the contempt of court by apol
ogizing and answering the questions
about which she was sent to Ludlow
stieet jail, but she is assured that her
imprisonment beyond a certain time,
which lias expired, is illegal. The
Supreme Court, of the State has been
appealed to, and a writ of certiorari
issued requiring Surrogate Boltina to
give an account of his proceedings
in proper form for review. The case
is to bo tried Monday next. Miss
Becky’s pluck has excited the admi
ration of thousands throughout the
cou utry, and while her conduct can
not be approved, there will ho a gen
eral fooling of satisfaction if she
should find a loop-hole in tho law
through which she may crawl out of
prison. __________

Dawson Journal : Mr. Easter, who
lives near Brouwood, was arrested
Saturday afternoon by Messrs. Tur
ner Lewis and Enoch l’roctor. The
old man, it seems, had been in the
habit of contracting with tenants aud
working them the greater portion of
the year, and then taking hi* double
barrel shotgun and makiug them
leivc the premises without tho benefit
of their labor. But he finally struck
the wrong follow, who swore outs
warrant for “intimidation” aiuiplaced

man aimed himself and asserted that
no officer should over lay hands on
him. The above named gentlemen
took the old man when he least sus

▲ BANK FAILURE '
The suspension of the banking
house of Hvatt. Loving* & Cos., Of
Washington, Indian*, which was an
nounced Tuesday night, created much
alarm throughout that section, as the
concern was considered to be hi first
class condition. Tt was a private
house, a large portion of the business
community of Washington deposit
ing with it. J. C. Bellheeuer. one of
the assignee*,states that the liabilities
will probably reach $122,000, aud that
the assets are (IOQ.OOC, if the figures
of Mr. Ilyatt. ono of the members of
the firm, are correct. The individual
members of the firm are Elisha Hy
att, Sarah Ilyatt aiid Jared Lcvings.
Others are also interested. The firm
lias good backing, inasmuch as
Elisha Hyatt is estimated to be
werthssoo,ooo, although his wealth
is all in real estate, aud cauuot U
realized upon. The bank was or
ganized ill 18(58, and met with sever,
ai reverses in 1873, during the panic,
and also in 1875, wlion the great fiood
of that year devastated that sertien.
The business of tho senior membor
of the firm was so large that it is
feared his failure will bring serions
reverses upon tho community. No
specific reason it assigned for the
fa lurt.
