heretofore that General Toombr wa9 alio'

As he was walking from one roffuf - torifre

and braising it pretty badly, and almost
closing one eye, which, however, fortu

was forced to wear a green shade over it

become tbe fashion in some circles in
Georgia to sneer at as the‘‘organized”

strike some people as somewhat ominous.
GEORGIA MATTERS,
by tho way, ure much discussed here just
now by politicians of all shades and cali
bres. The recent nufortauate differences
that have grown np between leaders and
representative men in our State are sub
jects of keen and general interest and
conversation. What they foreshadow no
man oso positively tell, bnt much appre
hension is expre. sedas to their bearing
npon the future of tno party iu Georgia.
Damoorats from all parts of tbe country
are unanimous iu the opinion that these
differeec^s can cud should be adjusted,
and thit if they are not, the most deplor
able results will be l.kely to ensuo. The
Radicals are ohnokling over the situation
as it now exists down there, and ljudly
boasting that the end will be tho loss of
Georgia to the perty cn State oertainly,
and very possibly on Presidential
issues in 1889. They say that tne

Georgia will eurc-ly be lost to the Demo
mats. They confidently claim that when
tbe rupture comes they will hold tho bal
ance of power and make their own terms.
They also claim to know exactly who can
be counted on to actively engineer this
break, and that the latter cannot be pla
cated upon any terms short of on abso
lute and unconditional surrender by the
parytothem in every essential. If they
are not allowed to do just exactly wbat

Radicils confidently predict these

ization. I think tho people should ba
put on notice of theso things and there
fore I refer to them. I feel positively
eure there is danger ahead which, if not
averted, will work their ruin. If the
party needs purging let tbe medicine be
administered by doctors of our own se
lection, not by quacks and outsiders who
don’t care whether the patient lives or
dies, so that they fill their own pockets.
But let people decide for themselves. It

BACHsmE>’ Roo^t.—Oglethorpe Echo
This uocient and dilapidated building
now occupied by a trio of Lexington’s
cot firmed old bachelors, is the first woo
der of our town. Strangers miss a nove
and astonishing s<ght by not paying it a
call when on a visit to this place. The

left as it is, to the sole oare of the lords of
creation, a faint idea of ita internal oleari-
lmef s and arrangement may be had. Tbe
beds present a knotty problem that it is
impossible to solve, aud how tbe oocu-
pauts manage to sleep upon them is
beyond car ken. We bad as soon at

Distressing Accident.—Oa Thursday

W. P. Burt, was driving borne from tbe

blow rendered her insensible, and tbe

tree in front of Mrs. Lester’s residence in
Reese Park, and she was violently pre

Returned to Plague Them.—Iu 1873
au order was issued from the War Depart
ment prohibiting officers of the army from
communicating directly, orally or in wri
ting, with Congress or Congressmen, for
redress of verbal or assumed grievances,
or with a view of influencing legislation in
any particular. If they had anything to
say, they were to say it through a supe
rior officer or through tho War Depart
ment. The occasion of this order was the
communication of certain facts and cir
cumstances to the Houso Military Com
mittee which the Department would bave
preferred not to havo made public. Tha t
order was denounced on the floor of Con
gress as au attempt to gag officers of the
army, and to make the War Department
offioials judges cf what should or should
not be made known to the law-makers of
the coutltry. By an order issued to-day
that order of 1873 was practically re
voked, and army officers are again at lib
erty to advocate or oppose, either verbal
ly or in writing, any measure pending
before Oongress, the only restriction be
ing that leaves of absence are not to be
granted specially to enable officers to visit
Washington to ieflaenoe legislation. As
this sew order oomes just oa the eve of
consideration of tho Lilt to reorganize the
army, its lonks very mnoh as thongh army

Republican France.
The Senatorial elections in France on
Sunday last, to fill the places of outgoing
Senators, are so far reported to have re
sulted in the election of sixty-four Bepuo-
icans to fiftoen Conservatives; and it ia
ptated that tho Republicans will sum up
about fiftj-seven net majority in that
body.
Thus, for tho first time since the crea
tion of the French Republic, tbe friends
of Republican institutions will be able to
control the National Legislature. Proba
bly it has been no practical misfortune to
the cause of Republican government in
that country that, np to this time, its ene
mies havo held a veto power in both the
Executive and Legislative branches of
the public administration. This has re
strained experiments and excesses which
might have brought about a reaction, and
has enforced a slower progress in liberal
zation than would otherwise have been
permitted.
The zealots of all factions, from the
Reds on one hand to the Legitimists on
the other, have, by antagonizing each
other, produoed a counter-balance — a
compromise, tho general result of which
has boen reassuring and satisfactory.
The French administration in the main
is confessed to have been prndent and
patriotic. Confidence in tho stability
and safety of the Republic has steadily
increased from year to year, and thus the
Republicans have been able to win a
following of intelligence and capital
which they might havo lost and arrayed
actively against them, if the French
Government had passed fully into their
hands at the start, when the public
mind was unsettled, and very wild and
radioal notions were current among the
so-called Republicans.
The Republican party has gained a val
uable experience, reputation and a much
improved constituency from the fact that
it haB been held in constant check for
six or eight years. At this time there
can beno doubt that it comprises the best
administrative talent of France, and is
able, of its own power and volition, to
maintain a wise and prndent government.
The vaticinations about a restoration of
the Empire are much less confident than
they used to be a fow years ago.
Bnt tbe French Repnbiio is still des
tined tu severe trials. It baa enemies in
plenty without and withiD. Within, its
foes aro crippled by their own iireooucile-
able quarrels and aspirations. This is
fortunate. Without, it is doubtful whe h-
er contiueutal monarchy oan repose tin
tranquillity with the example cf a great
and prosperous Republic within hailing
distance. There is u good deal of a tur
bulent, fantical and false Republicanism
floating about and pistoling Kings
already. The two methods of pub
lic administration are 60 _ efssc-
tielly irreounoiiable that It is diffi-
onl: to see bow they oan lung main
tain a good neighborhood. France, as a
prosperons Republic, will be very liable
to unfriendly combinations against her.
Our JS ew Four Per Cent. Bonus
The bonds,known as the Garrard Bouds,
because first proposed by the gentleman
of that name from Muscogee, are exciting
considerable comment and animadversion
at tbe North. It is contended that they
aro unconstitutional and divers authori
ties are cited to prove tho assertion.
Doubtless this opposition is confined
chiefly to the extreme hard money ele
ment of the country and the holders of
United States securities. They dread,
and are prepared to fight even tbe 1 em
blance of any amplification of currency,
or addition to the volume of negotiable
paper which might be made to subserve
the purposes thereof.
But all tbe.-e attempts will amount to
nothing, as any State has the right to
bond its debt and from time to timo call
m and issue other securities at a greater
or less ra*o cf interest, according to its
exigencies, provided the original bona-
hold-rs are paid or otherwise satisfied.
This is precisely the case in the pres
ent instance. The credit and prosperity
of the commonweal h has advanced to
such an extent that any number of capi
talists even at home are willing to raise
the money to cancel the old bonds about
to fall due and accept as payment the
new four per cent, issue, which will differ
in no respect from the others save in
point of size. This is precisely wbat the
general government is doing at this time,
viz: retiring old bends tcilh new at lower
rates of interest.
Tho new bonds of Georgia will be no
nearer approach to cnrrency than those
of Secretary Sherman. The latter are
received as currency now in any large
bnsinesa transaction.
Wbat real estate owner in Macon, if be
conld effect a desirable sale of the prop
erty be bai upon the market, would not
consent to receive United States bonds
in payment for the same ? Such securi
ties are even sought after with avidity.
Aud where can it be shown that tbe con
stitution limits the denomination or di
mensions of any bonafide bond, whether
issued by a State or tbe Foderal Govern
ment?
The fact that these “Garrard bonds”
will run for a period of years, have regu
lar interest coupons attached and simply
take the place of those that have been
retired, place them on tho same footing
with any others in the country. If their
convenient size should make them to a
certain extent subserve the purposes and
uses of enrrenoy, so much the better. It
would add just so much more to tho avail
able resources of tbe State. Aud what is
the difference between paying for a barrel
of flour with a five dollar bond, and buy
ing a ten thousand dollar farm or man
sion with United States bonds, always
providing the parties, in both instances,
are consenting and satisfied.
Tha only trouble in the premises to be
apprehended, is the already pretty well
assured fact that these bonds will be
sought after by investors and locked np
immediately npon tbeir utterance.
