Ah was fX|wscted, the result of the Con
greialoiml election iu the eighth District
is that Ilu. Alexuudcr 11. Stephens is
elected without opposition. In this Ac
tion of the people oT that district the ser
vice!) of one of the ablest and purest men
of this generation Are secured to the coun
try. Since lie was a member of Congress
things iu Washington have vvofully
changed. Then even’good men were hon
ored by the position—uow tin honest
man honors the position. Men like Mr.
Stephens, honored for their high integrity
learning, virtue and patriotism, had made
it indeed honorable to heroine u member
of Congress. Hut how changed now!
Membership in both Houses lias been
bought ami sold, iiml used to promote pri
vate and personal gain—to plunder and
rub Uio public domain and the Feberul
treasury, until the mere fact of being a
member is no irkienee of personal respec
tability. but ou the other hand to excite
suspicion oftlie lack of it. Perhaps never
in the history of the country, lias so much
corruption been exposed in the member
ship of 1 soils Houses of Congress than
iu that |now just drawing to a close.
From the Vice President down their of
fences have created a stench that ought to
arouse the people to a true sense of danger
before it is (•<> late. That all, or even n
majority, of them art lacking in hon
esty, 1$ not believed, but that tluie are so
many who slaud convicted before the bar
•►f public opinion as to thoroughly taint the
enliru body, is n fact no one will Attempt
to deny, it is among such men. and un
der these altered circumstances, that Alex
ander H. Stephens will find himself on re
entering upou the discharge of his Con
gressional duties. That he will maintain
his high character cannot b# doubled —
that he may be instrumental in restoring
the prestiga given to the word Honorable
as applied to a Member of Congress, let us
hope. . ?

While the lumber tialn was drilling at
Waresboro, on tlio Brunswick Jt Albany
Railroad, on Wednesday last, a negro man,
named Felix McDonald, who was a hand
on the road, employed iu uncoupling ears,

thrown under the w heels of the engine,
and horribly mangled by being run o.yer.
He lived three hours after the’accident.
An honest, hardworking colored man,

.tl STII'IABI-E UOMICIPIt.
(iritfin News, 20th. |
We have just been put iu possession of
the following statement of u killing which
look place near Pitman's ferry, in Butts
county on Sunday evening Inst. It appears
dial a man, most generally known u* Kip
Harris, a very troublesome man When
i drinking, had been refused by
tu. Kltlil) r AItOVI.K
to visit bis family or pay attention to his
daughter, at which Harris became greatly
enraged. Home time ago Mr. Cargyle's
gin lions* and burn were burned, and
allough suspicions attached to certain
parties, no definite proof could be made.
We learn that Ifurris was iu Hie Cargyle
setflaiacnl on Sunday afternoon
IX A DItINKINU CONDITION,
and when passing Mr. Cargyle's house
determined to go in. Mr. C. warned hint
not to come in several times, but Harris
swearing and abusing him, continued to
udvanee in a threatening attitude until be
reached the door, when Cargyle filed,
emptying the contents of a double bar
relled shot gun in bis breast, killing
him almost instantly. It, is thought by
the neighbors to lie a case of
jrvrimuLK homicide.
as Harris was a young, siotit. active and
dangerous man, while Mr. Cargyle is old,
feeble and crippled. His family and son
in-law were in the house nt the time of
the killing. Mr. C'urgyle is at home and
expects to remain there, ned ill last ac
counts no warrant hud been issued for bis
arrest.

A (iOOD (lIIKF OF 1*01.14'11.
The New York World thus speaks of
the new chief of police of I.ouisville Ivy :
Louisville lias u new Chief of Police,
Colonel Johnson..on wham site is to be
congratulated. He has begun his admin
istration by shutting tip till gambling
houses in that •• most giunbliiigest "of
towns, as it was called by the late David
Crockett. He cUsctod this miracle by sta
tioning at each door of eacli den an officer
instructed to take down the names of any
and all person entering the same. The
officers were relieved every six hours
There were fugitive attempts at evasion,
tome of the blacklegs taking refuge in ho
tels aud private houses, and with extreme
secrecy and caution resuming their craft.
But Lo ! the policeman almost immediate
ly appeared mid stationed himself by the
door, note hook in hand, grim, perfuncto
ry, iutlexible, not m bo intimidated nor ca
joled. aud the gaum was up. The gamblers
are departing out of the laud with many a
curse upon Col. Johnson and his works,
and that udmirable officer aiguilles his pos
itive determination to keep the city clear
of them during liis three years term of
office, in deference to the sentimsnt of the
respectable classee of the community Col.
Johnson's predecessors from time to time,
made ostentations lint perhaps insincere
effiirts to arrest and disperse the gamblers
but aotliiug effective came of their en
deavors. They laboriously showed how
uot to do it. The present official in plain,
straightforward lashion shows how to do
it. If we could acquiro the services of
Col. Johnson at the expense, let us say, of
five acres of our bungling, corrupt, stu
pid city officials we should consider the
change most advantageous. .
The New Apportionment Bill.
There seems to be a misapprehension
ou the part of some of our respected con
temporaries of the press in regard to the
new apportionment bill. l)r Hill, of
Troup, introduced a bill dividing the State
into thirty-four districts, each one of which
was to have one Senator and so many
Representatives Dr. Hill's bill did not
j become law.
The bill that did pass and is now the
law, to hike cfiled alter the expiration of
the terms of members of the present Gen
eral Assembly, provides throe representa
tives each to the counties of Bibb, Burke,
Chatham, Fultou, Houston aud Richmond.
Two representatives to tho counties of
Bartow, Cobb, Clarke, Coweta, Carroll,
Docatcr, Dougherty, Floyd, Green. Gwin
nett. Hancock. Harris, Jacksoti. Jefferson,

Don't Cauk Whether School Keeps
ok Not. — A former alderman of Boston,
aud one who dearly loves to be in that
board, visited their room a few days ago,
aud for some timo he stood a silent ahd
thoughtful observer, and seemed- lost in
deep meditation as there he stood. Really
it reminded one of that striking painting
of Wellington's second visit to Water
loo, as that hero sat upon his horse,
his grey hairs strikingly visible, liis
daughter, or graud-daughter. by his side.
Who can imagine what thoughts filled bis
mind as lie remembered his former visit to
that field—then the scene of the most mo
mentous battles ever, fought—now so si
lent and still. Only the ploughmau was
there in the distance, with his four dull
oxen thoughtlessly moving along. All be
sides was still and quiet. And so it was
with the ex alderman as there he stood (lie
had chosen an early hour in the morning).
No alderman was there, so he stood alone. |
Slowly lie raised his head, took a long. !
long look, uttered a sad, deep sigh, and
turned his head away. As he faltered to- j
ward the door ho looked over hie shoulder
for a last glance, and feelingly, as a tear
ran down his cheek, whispered to himself
(thongh one near by could hear it). •• I !
