Vfvtu all fho distinctions which Mr George I Sencv lias won for himself, he never got to be a rolol till;’ ho Struck Georgia noil. t —— —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. ... srayyr t 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. __________ Call on L.

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 it In tho hands of the officer. The old 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 pected such a thing. They waited up behind him. seized him, downed him, brought him to Dawson land lodged him in jail, whore he netAre mains. a| f \ j ▲ 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.
