WASHINGTON GAZETTE FRIDAY, JURY 21, 188*. SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 Gen GiiA-iTtilU linger jit Ml Mc- Gregor, but St i lliouglit by all that the end J very near at band. ♦ <m ’Murat to-flie surprise of the outside world Chicago' I* effectively at work suppressing the gambling hells. The rumor comes from the Soudan that El Mahdt hat died of amall pox. If this be true disease ha* done for England what her army was unable to do. t SuCKf.TAttr Mannixo think* the tar iff very uneven, but representative Morrison 1* still of the opinion that he should be allowed to strike It a horizontal blow. Incomw.v.tb returns on Wednesday showed 1752 new ease* of cholera and S5 death* in Spain. It I* generally thought this dread disease will make its way to America before many nienlh*. ItW argued that the prohibition bill Is unconstitutional. What could be more in harmony with the genius of our free government than to sub mit questions of this kind to the people and by the people, and what they decree by a free ballot i law. TJy the ballot they make and unmake even constitutions. Tiik house passed the general local option bill last Saturday by an over whelming majority—lll against 22. The. bill was the order of the day for the senate yesterday and In ail proba bility passed that body. ■Prohibition is sweeping over Georgia with an ir resistabto force, and under till* law nearly overy county in this state will doubtless speedily vole out liquor. Tug opinion is prevalent in thl* part of the world that war between England and Russia over the Afghan question will be averted only os long as F.ngtand continue* to oat crow. The new English cabinet seems to have as great a relish for it as did the Gladstone cabinet, notwithstand ing tho warliko altitude of the op position before It got into power. Although rumor* of war between Russia and England have again died out it U not at all improhahlo that they will soon bo renewed again. Russia want* Zutflkar pas* and mean to have it if she can get it. Bho ha no claim to it, hul that fact doe* not eecm to he a bar to Russia trying to get what she covets. Some time ago Russia abandoned all thought l of Zulflkar pas* on condition that she should hare Pendjah. She got the latter place and .is now its— triguiug for tho former. 11 may he, however, that she will not risk a war with England at thl* timo in order to f?ot it. _ . . Probably the most Important blit before the legislature la the one now ponding; the Local Option Bill. An organized resistance Is being made to Its passage. The liquor dettlrea have entered Into a “protec tive association." As an eniment di vine has said : This ‘protective asso ciation’ does not propose to “protect" the 300,000 funiillcs nor 4(X\000 wo men, nor the 600.000 children, nor the 000,000 tax-payers of Georgia, but whom? Why 1,500 liquor deal ers. If tliia 1,500 got the protection they sook, every man, woman and child must be placed in peril; every financial Interest and soelal pleasure and moral virtue, must be put in jeo pardy. The “protection they ask for is to give them the privilege to try to nvike drunkards ol all men,bankrupts of all our citizens, weeping Rachels of at! our mothers, and vagabonds and waits of all children. Tttr. house has before it a hill ap propriatingftio.OOOto establish a schorl of technology at the most available point In the stato. This question to bo decided by a commission. The Georgia legislature will agreeably surprise us if it passes the bill to on reurage tlio training of the young in Industrial and mechanical arts when the last man of them lias been brought up with the idea that It was cheaper to buy the products of Northern man ufactories that it was to encourage in dustries at the South. But the far sighted and industrious citizens of Georgia who do not fool away their time engineering for a sest in tl e legislature, plainly see the great ad vantage oi revolutionizing the Geor gia idea on this subject. Skilled labor is about the greatest need of the statu just at tLls time; and no fortuno that could be given a young man would prove half so beneficial ns r thorough training in a good school ot ioachuelogy. ISIMK.HATIOX. The theory of some northern wri ters fikat Immigration does not tend toutlpvord on account of the presence of jltf:black Face and the existence of lawlAness, Is completely answered pv a reference to Texas. In Texas the blaclii are numerous, and most of the alleged lawlessness of the south is popularly ascribed to that locality. Yet In this state there Is already a colony of New Englanders. Ihe census of 1880 showed the presence of 709 persons born In Connecticut, 179 from Rhode Island, 1,523 from Massa chusetts, 549, from Vermont, 318 frem New Hampshire and 830 fiont Maine—more than 4.000 New Eng landers in all—and the number has materially increased during the last live years. Only the other day an agent purchased a large tract of land In Dallas county for a colony of 250 Connecticut families, who will take posession In the fall. This settles it that Immigrants will not stay away from a state that has negroes In It, simply on that account, nor will re ports of an occasional violation of law frighten them oft. They go to well advertised regions. Advertising and immigration agents populated tho great northwest, and tho same meth ods are filling tip Texas and Florida. Texas Is a big state. It is as large us New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa chusetts, Rhode Island, Connoctioul, New York, NowJersev, Pennsylvania, Delaware,Maryland, Ohio and India na all combined. Such a vast territory must hayo a variety of climate and produces annually as muct cotton as the entire country produced in 1840. It has a liberally endowed school system, and many other good points. \ All tliese attraction* have been kept before the world in hooks, pamphlets, newspapers, circulars, etc., and of course immigrants go there. The same energy and judgment in adver tisement would draw people to Alas ka or anywhere else.—Atlanta Constitution. THE SARA SOTA ASS ASI NATION ON SOCIETY. The Sara Sota assassins have been tried, and fouref them found guilty. Our dispatch yesterday announced the viction of three of them at Pine I-evcl The other one was convicted several weeks ago. The one that was first convicted was charged with tho mur der of a man named Abbe, tho Post master at bars Sota. The throo who were convicted last week were charge with the murder of Harrison T. Riley in May, 1884. The wholo country was startled when the story was published,several months ago, that there was an organ ized band of assassins Manatee coun ty, Fla., and that they had a lodge room, were bound bv oaths, and had a regular systems of signs and pass words. Indeed, there were many who were inclined to think lhat tho story had no foundation. There was little room for doubt, however, when the books of the organization wore dis covered, and member* of tho band were scared Into confessing that other persons besides those who had been killed were marked for assassina tion. The citizens went to work vigorous ly to arrest the leaders of the organ ization and they succeeded, it is be lieved, in arresting nearly all of them. The stato officer* took hold of the matter with a determination to se cure the punishment of the guilty parties, and they succeeded belter even than they had reason to expect. They got evidence without much trouble that mdo it impossible for the guilty parlies to escape. It seems strange that the idea of organizing an assassination society In a civilized community should liavo suggested itself to anyone, and stran ger still that the society should nave existed as long as H did without be* ing discovered. Tho convicted assassins will doubt less be made to pay the penalty of their crimes on the gallows. The citi zens of Manatee oounty, who have shown so much earnestness in bring ing them to justice, can be depended upon to see that no avenue of escape is left open to them .—Savannah News. Tuesday was the hottest for sever al years in the Northern cities. Tho hot wave extended all over Illinois, town, Wisconsin and Nebraska. At Dos Moines at 2 o’clock the mereuiy showed 92. In New York 89, Wash ington 03, Baltimore 00, and at sev eral points in that city at 2 o’clock it was 101 and the death rate was large ly increased. At Richmond between 12 and 3 o’clock it showed in several places 100 to 104. At Philadelphia it went to 08 and there was no present prospect for a change. Cincinnati 03. CROUP. WHOOPING COUGH and Bronchitis immediately relieved by Shiloh’s Cure. SA JOSE S ICCCESS. A correspondent of the Nashville American writing from Murfrecabor ough, Tcnm, nnder date of the I6th says: No ordinary Georgia scrub couldcorne toTennesseeand take pos session as] Brother Jones has done. He is either the greatest revivalist of the United Stales to-day or Tennes seeans are the most consummate asses living. So, indeed, Texans, Mississ ippians and others, for he has aroused the same excitement everywhere. Col. K. P. Dillard, of this city, pronounces him the great pulpit commoner, as Pitt, Clay and Johnson were the great commoners .of the political world. Plok out from the list of the converts lhe names of the few “hardened sin ners,” at the head of this letter. They are men of brain courage and convic tion ; men whom no ordinary breeze could move from any position. Read his sermons. Are they not, for the most part full of plain, practical sense and theological orthodoxy ? II the Christian's Bible is the foundation of hope, who could bettor testify lo the common people (or to the uncommon people, cither.) his faith id the divin ity of the written wood than when he says: “1 believe the whale swallowed Jo nah ; believe it literally. I only do not believe that Jonah swallowed the whalo simply because the Bible docs not say so," To the sinner who hesitates who walls for his “feelings" la move him, who wants to “feel" that hois good enough to go before lie makos any change in his conduct, was there ever a more homely or more convfcning Il lustration presented than theaneedo'e ef the man who sat down, ax In hand at the root of a tree one cold frosty morning, waiting for the sweat to break out before he went la work ? Brother Jones admit* hi* natural weaknesses. Ha ha* the appearance of a man of a hasty and once violent temper. It must have been difficult at first to keep a lock upon his Ups he is no doubt a man, brave impulsive courageous—tho very sort open lo temptation. Was there ever a better illustaatlon of one liable to fall, yet determined to stand, than that made yesterday of himself. “I dont care bow often one err, if he’ll honestly strive to restrain him solf and recover his proper balance when he does err. Ail along the way we meet with conflicts and tempta tions. When I stumble and lai'thank God I always fail r|jto.an India-rub ber-hall—l fall bouncing! God wilt put his angels on hat* rations to keep an honest man and his family from starving.” Withal, he reaches men of less im posslb’e sympathies by mixing horse sense logic with horse sense wit anec dotes and Mlnstratrion*, for no one can more clearly establish to the mul titude his proposition that “religion is a matter of principle and convic tion.’ But tho best answer lo all his crit ic* is to point to results. What If Brother Jones' word* re plaiu and blunt? What though he prefers to call tho devil the devil rather than ‘his Satanic excellency from the burn ed district ?” Or likes nnshlrted “heir better than “sheol” la purple and fine linen ? He moves his hearers. He holds In his hand the assembled thousands; and whether ho preach forty minutos or two hours they hang on, obedient to bis will! L*t result decide the Issue. Men of all grade* and classes enjoy bis sermons alike. They rise at 5 in tho morning to pre pare for his 6 o’clock sermon—men, women, and children, who perhaps, have never s-en the sun rise till now. And when the exhortation Is delivered and “Psalmsof Victory” sung they move forward from ail pa. t of the tent, and, “(hose who came to scoff remained to prai.” The barkeeper and his, patron, tho gam bler and his victim, the doctor and his patient, men and women, lawyer and client good and bad. hardened ago and tender childhood, till, within the past three days, ai this meeting alone, 300 or 400havo either professed religion or declared tlioinselves peni tent. It is the proud boast of Brother Jones' friends and admirers that in a single revival at Knoxville, he closed 27 barrooms and thus redeemed 270 drunkards. How poor and insignifi. cant seem all the results of tho Maine liquor aud bleeding Kansas prohibition laws in comparison with a work like that!

Thirty three members of the Keene Light Guard were then marshalled iu line at fificen paces, and at the the word “fire” the same number of bullets penetratod the vital spots.

The cotton planters will have to use tue old-fashioned ten-fingered cotton picker again this tall. Neither Mr. Mason nor any of his rivals, has been able to so far perfect a machine at to put it on the market. It is to be feared that the prospect for a per fect cotton-picking machine are not very promising just now. It seems lhat even Mr. Mason is not yet satis fied with the workings of his machine. More long and tedious experiments are necessary. Perhaps Mr Mason, if a married man, might get some as sittance from his wife.
