W/saiKOTOJr, December 23,1873.
AS DSPABBOSABLE OMISSION
for which my apologias are nareby rendered
appeared in my yesterday's (not rcceito 1) let
ter. I hadn’t a word About the Senate. It is al
most a hanging orime, to bo sure, but never
theleas I committed it. Well, then, to com
mence with Wheeler who ooeupied the chair
for the first time since May. I don’t know
anything of publio interest to say about him
except that a colossal floral pyramid graced
his desk, evidently the handiwork of some
damo or damsel who remembers bis lonely
condition as a widower. Other favored
Bolona in this lino were the magnificent
Burnside—another w.dower—Logan, Thur
man. Eaton, Davis, Cuke. Kirkwood, Wuyto
and one or two o.hers Old man Kirkwood,
who id a granger all over, including hie boots
and hay seed in his hair, looked as pleas-.d as
if he had cap.ured abigpnrse at a fair and
stalked around his bouquet pausing at inter
vals and positions to fundiy eye it. If there
is a Mrs. K. I should advi.e her to come on
here at once, for it is very evident that her
"old man” is susceptible Ospricorcus Conk-
Hug appeared np to bis eyes in work but
g raciously ailowod tho few who approached
is desk to shako his hand and inquire after
bis hoalth. He has evidently been really ill,
aa his appearance pUin'y indicates, but how
muchof it is due to malaria andhow much to
the remembrance of the bibulous Sprague's
shotgun, I don't know. He doesn't seam
quite so topioftieal as usual hut alill shows
symptoms of smelling someihtng not very
fragrant in his immediate neighborhood I
hardly think after the shot gnu lesion at
C&rrcnicna that ho will continue to be the
magnificent enob he was b.foro. The ven
erable Hamlin wore the same epike-tail in
which he was sworn into office as Vice Presi
dent with Lincoln and looked sourer and moie
“d—d the Democrats - ’ than ever. Of course
ho still scornB an overcoat &e superlatively
effeminate, th ogh ulsters were tramps out
doors with everybody else. A rough and
tough oil party is the venerable Hannibal
ana as honest a hater of Southern white
folks ae yon oan find anywhere. Ma’t Car
penter looked ovenmoro like a Bowery boy
than usual with a cigar in his month, bis
slonch hat crashed down over hit eyes and a
general air of having made a n'gbt of it.
Judge Timiman looked calm and sorone —
bluff and hearty—and took snuff and waved
that famous bandanna aa utuil. He doesn’t
show a trace of having been sat down upon
In October. Bayard, looking decidedly hand
somer than ever,and with a healthful bronze
on his noblo face that told of recent sea
travel, was tho recipient of manyjcongratula-
tions. Edmunds seemed to me grimmer
than ovo- and as if actually longing for an
opportunity to get at tho Democrats and the
Sooth Many well-known faces wore miss
ing, among them Lamar and (Till. Gordon
wib present, erect and soldierly looking and
genial as ever, with a frank cordial greeting
and smilo for all By the way, I had nearly
forgotten John Logan, who looked blacker
and more brutal than usual, and was much
less precise in his aim at the spitioon—when
be took cny—than last session, and evidently
was faiiy yearning to get at and smash the
English language with his usual vigor.
Bruce, aauensl. was the most faultlessly
dressed man in tho lot and behaved with the
most faultless propriety. His wife was in
the ladies gallery and was stared at unmer
cifully—far beytnd the point of good breed
ing, as it seemed to me. Tho starers wero
however, evidently fresh Northern people
doing Washington for tho first time. Blame
was conspicuously absent. Ho is one of tbs
"stars,” andev.rybody on such occasions
wants to see him. In conscquanee of his
absence the proceedings wore pretemalur-
ally dull, and Allison's announcement of
Oh&udler’o death was allowed to stand as a
reason and occasion for adjournment lam
sore if B’aiae bad been prosent things wonld
not have been allowed to pass off so monoto
nously.
1BELO.K
in regard to the length of the session and
ooureo and character of legislation, shows
wide differences of opinion. It will be the
policy and iffort of the Democrats, if they
do what is so plainly indicated to thorn, to
have a short one full of buainess and very
scant ae to chin mueio. That is their policy,
so that I don't see how anybody can dispute
it Transact all necessary business and then
go home to tho stamp and their constituents.
Next year will be about the most important
one in .ho history of the party it has ever
known ami it can't stand any mistakes or
foolishness. If the Democrats allow “’“•p-
■aIum .a a- —tiiio a repeti
tion of past mistakes, then good bye
Democracy at tho polls m November. We
will hardly havo another chanco. Tbo
Badioals know this and their aim
will b3 for a long session and a constant
bedevilment and irritation of our people into
talking instead of working. They will hin
der business ae much as passible and then
when tho time has been wasted roil their
eyes, throw np their bands and charge it all
on the majority. If they can have tseir way
tho session will run into July. If tho Demo
crats show their sense, oarly Juno will seo
an adjournment. If there were not quite eo
many statesmen on one side for whom the
Eouudof their own voices and tho appear
ance of their names in the Record and news
papers gcncraly has such fascination I
should not doubt the Jane programme’s be-
ing ea-iiy earned out. But I do think of it
and donbt if the newspapers at home will
keep np tho refrain of a business and theto-
foro a short eossion it would certainly help
and I modestly suggest it With this policy
carried ont and a candidate who is worthy to
lead a groa' party, the prospect does not
teem so bine es it did aftor tho October
shower halts. P. ts. This, of course, means
that Gramcrcy Park is ruled out. I hardly
think the party can carry that load again.
NieCELLANEOES.
Mr. Howard Williams, late of the Dis
patch, is here representing the Atlanta Con
stitution. I am sure this will be good news
to the rcadeie of that paper.
Mr. Itandail, of the Augusta Chronicle,
will, I hear also resume bis capital letters to
that paper when ho return* from New Or
leans with Mr. Hill e committee and x trust,
may aleo drop into something cffitially fat at
the other end of the cpltoL To a man eo
enraptured with Washington lifo, I can

Another Georgian Journalist finds hie
lines oast in pleasant places this BO: s'on and
I trait will have all bis anticipations folly
realized. As tally clerk of ths House, Mr.
Eugene Speer has a first class position,
which I trust bo will always find pleasant.
He mado a capital editor, and I am persuad
ed will reflect equal credit npsn himself in
his n6tv role.
I do not hear much comment upon Dr.
Felton a lato letter. Bomobow it has scarce
ly found its way into other than Badieal
Journal* in this and latitudes further North.
Of course the Dr. will horeatter have noth
ing more to do with Democratic oxucuses or
party action. I have not Been it, but Lom
what I hoar, ii must be a document not en
tirely unpleasant to tho opposition. And
etrange to say, I have heard tno same opin
ion expressed by many other Democrats
Mr. Cutts, of Anconeus, who was c’.eik to
Gen. Cook’s committee last eeaiion, tells

that Mr. Phillip Cook. Jr. will hereafter flit

men will find the change eminently satisfac
tory. A. W. B.
BY TELEGRAPH.
The Ut*l—Tho news of yesterday
tenders it highly prcbabla that there
will bo no further trouble with the Utos.
On Monday last one of tho ohiefs who,
in conjunction with Jock led the assault
on Thornburgh, mode confession and sur
rendered himself a prisoner to tho Com
mission. He also implicated the Mor
mons so far as to testify that they had
promieed to assist tho Indians in any wsr
with the United States. It now remains
for Chief Jack to surrender and unbosom
himself. The Utes evidently see the
hopelessness cf resistance, and have con
cluded to accept defeat without a fight.
Tub Chilians seem to be overruuing
the Peruvians. The capture of still an
other important town in Peru is an
nounced, with heavy loss on both sides.
"There may be some virtue in all of
them," he said, “but for aotnal worth
and rapidity of effect I know nothing
medo that can excel Dr. Bull’d Cough
Byrup.” _
One of tho moat essential conditions of
perfect health is perfect rest. This can
be assured to the baby by jadiciously
using Dr. Bali's Baby Syrup. Sold ev
erywhere for 26 centB a bottle.
Try ii; keep trying it, and try it agala.
We say this because we believe thet the
health, happisera and prosperity of the
people depend upon the proper use cf
these medicines, which have proved eo
successful in eradicating disease and de
feating death. The medicine is go effec
tive in its cute of diseases is the greet
Southern remedy, Simmons’ Liver Kegm
lator. Try it; we believe that the first
trial will be satisfactory. *
Denver, Con, December 4.—A Lss
Pinos special says Chief Colarow appear
ed before tbo commission on Monday and
testified that be took part in tho Thorn
burgh fight, corroborating the statement
that he aud Jack led ths Indians in the

He states the fight was an accident.
The troops wero trying to avoid the Utes
by taking a trail outside the regular rosd,
through Milk river canon, while the Utes
were doing the same to avoid the soldiers.
They were surprised when the commands
came up and began the fight.
Coiorow swore positively that the Mor
mons promised to assist the Indians in
any war with the United States troops.
He voluntarily surrendered himself as a
prisoner.

squadron is blockading the port of Arioa.
A dispatch from Valparaiso to Reuter’e

New York, December 4.—Wn. C.
Gi’man, sentenced in 1877 to five years
in the State prison for perjury, and
whose case attracted muah attention at
the time, from his social standing, an 1
the confession made by the prisoner, was
yesterday released from Sing Sing, Gov
ernor Bobinson having commuted bis
sentence from firs y„&ra to two years,
one month -rad twenty days. A petition,
signed by wealthy and influential persona
of New York City, had been presented to
the Governor for Gilman’s pardon, which
he declined to grant, and also & request
later of ex-Governor Horatio Seymour,
presumably in conscquenoe of Gilman’s
additional weightof woe in the deathof bis
daughter and wife be has now consented
to this special commutation. It is gener
ally supposed the Governor was actuated
to grant this commutation by reading
a notice of the death of Mrs. Gilman, so
suddenly did the document make its ap
pearance, and with the idea that ho
should be enabled to attend ber fu
neral.
Washington, Decamber 4.—Iu the

be to meet Monday.
Mr. Carpenter offered a resolution that
the resumption of circulation of gold, sil
ver and greenbacks as lawful money, and
the expectation that finances Would not
be disturbed by precipitate legislation
had been followed by renewed industry
and general prosperity. That a success
ful conduct of business depends upon a
stable fiasnot&l policy, and that, there
fore. in the opinion of the Senate, any
legislation during the present Sena'?,
materially changing the existing system
of finaace wonld be inexpedient.
At 11.30, the Senate went into Execu
tive session.
At 12.45 the doors were reopened and
Senate adjourned until Monday.
In the House among tho bills and res
olutions introduced and referred was oao

thusiastically.
London, December 4.—The _ Berlin
correspondent of the limes explains that
tho Czar's railway journeys are generally
made with two trains, one tor himself

baggage. Hitherto it has been custom
ary to allow trains to act a3 a kind of
eclaireur. Ou the present jonraey this

Unaware of this change, tho assassins
calculated ou the Cs ir being ia tho lead
train and exploded their mine acaord
iagly.

nority.”

the government, said " the Cabinet rep
resents various opinions, which find rep
resentati7es in ths Chambers, Without
us, the Chamber would not have returned
to Paris. The government wonld, he
said, recall magistrates to & sense of their
duty, and respect to the fpublio* It will

of outrage. It will give liberty of asso
ciation when all parties disarm.”

The Bachelor Department of the

Proxx-sob White, in Athens, gave the
University boys a blowing up the other
day. The Daily Banner says:
While the class in chemistry at the
University yesterday wes engaged in
watohing the interesting experiments of
Professor Whito in combining and ex
ploding gases, a bottle filled with pure
oxygen and ethane gas was shivered by
the explosion and hnrled in fragments
over the room. S,v«rat members of tho
olaes were struck by pieces of tho bottle,
bat fortunately none were seriously hurt.
Messrs. Camp, Howell, McRae and Wot-
ton were the most damaged ones, being
out about tbo head and face, but not
enough to cause any of them to lose a
recitalkn The bottle was one that had
been frequently used in similar experi
ments, and no one was more surprised at
its bursting than Professor White, who
touched the fixme to the gas. The pieces
flew in tho opposite direction from the
Professor. If they had gone towards
him, he wonld mo3t probably have been
badly hurt. The noise of the explosion
was deafening, and the eoaro was one
that will not soon be forgotten. It wes a
good deal larger than the hurt.
Talbotton Standard: We iearathat a
dreadful fight oocurred in that district in
Talbot, known as Cracker’s Neck, on
Sunday morning between two yonng
men, Robert Hancock and Nathan Isom
It seems that tho men had fallen out
about something and got into a fight at
the time mentioned, when Hancock
knocked Isom down with a huge rock,
knocking all his teeth down his throat,
and after be fell, struck him several
times on the head with a huge rook.
Ieom was picked np for dead and
carried home, where at last accounts, he
lay in a critioal condition, and ere this is
read he is no donbt dead. Drs. Bryan
and Birdsong were summoned and took
from his head numbers of pieces of his
fractured skull. The rock with whioh
the awful work was done was oovered
with blood, hair and the brains of the
n&fortunate man. Young Hancock was
arrested on Sunday evening and tnrncd
over to a bailiff, from whom, we learn he
has made bis escape and fled the country.
Ho claimed Isom was rushing on him
with a knife .when he knocked him down.
It ia an nnfortunato affair and creates
great sorrow in the community where It
occurred as both the young men were
olever, hard working boys and well oon
neoted.

Swainsbobo Herald: Dootor Bcoven left

well matured M.xiosa squash 44 inches
long, from 2} to 4 inches in diameter
He said it growed on Mr. Jaoob Leicks
plaoe, on a vine that came from a seed
direot from Mexico. He eaid he etw
the vine last summer when it was in its
meat luxuriant state, and that it was im
mense—tunning from 45 to 50 feet
every direction, bearing quite a number
of quashes, each largo enough for a full
mess for a large family. He also states
that he eat some of them and found them
mnch sweater end more delicious than
any other species of equash he ever eat.
The squash is now on exhibition at tbe
Herald office, and those wishing to sse
it are invited to call and take a look ot
it.
Exchange: General Eli Warren, of
Houston oocnty, said be was the first man
in Georgia who ever picked a hundred
pounds of cotton ip. one day. This oc
curred about fifty years ago.
The Chronicle and Constitutionalist is
reaponible for the comment which fol
Iowa the clipping givsn below. There is
a spioe of revenge in the dosing sentence
wnioh leads ns to believe that the eucoesB
ot Ha Mayoralty tiokot has not compen
sated that paper for other disappoint
ments.
Thebe have been sixteen executions of
females in England since Victoria’s ac
cession to the throne, and during tbe
same period only one woman was hung
in this country,—Few Tori: Star.
The Star is mistaken. We know of
three women who have been hung in
this country since the war, and there
were doubtless other exeontions that es
caped onr attention. Mrs. Surratt was
hung in Washington City in 1865; Susan
Eberharc was hung in Webster county,
Georgia, in 1878 or 1874, for assisting
her paramour to marder his wife; and
abont the same time a colored woman
wsa hung in Elbert oounty, Georgia, for
poisoning her rival. Of course, we leave
out of our list—for want of spsot—the
names of women who ought to have
been hang, bat who were not. For our
selves, we think women have the same
right to be haDg ns men have, acd we
trust the day will soon come when this
right will be folly accorded them.
The Sparta Ishmaelite eaye:
We suspect any man’s fealty to Domo
cratio principles who finds matter either
of comfort or of rejoioingin Dr. Felton’s
denuno ation, in a Radical paper, of the
party of which he professes to be a mem
ber. There can be no sort of doubt of
Dr. Felton’s right to give aid and com
fort to the enemies of his people, if he
sees proper so to do. There esn be no
doubt of the faoi that ho has seen proper
to do eo; aud that he bns accomplished it
with a great deal of Pharisaical self
complacency. But we insist upon it that
there is something of unmitigated mean
ness in a man’s stabbing the
party of which he professes to be a
member, with a dagger borrowid
or Btolen from tbe Badioals. No wonder
the letter is comforting to the small boy
of the Republican. No wonder he feels
satisfied with the lsngths to whioh it
goes, and hastens to disoharge himself
of u thanksgiving editorial on tho eub-
jeot. If he will take himself by the ears
and bold himself still long enough to get
ccol, ho may possibly be wise onongh to
discover that tbe ambitions patson has
overdone the thing entirely. In getting
into a rage and tearing his political shirt
ho exposes only his own unseemly bris
tles. Ia endeavoring, Him like, to ex
pose the Demooraoy to the ribald jeers of
the Jacobins, bo has displayed his onn
uncomely and nnkempt nakedness.

four o’clock yesterday afternoon qnite a
serious affray occurred at the Waiballa
saloon, corner of Whitaker and Bryan
streets. In the pool room atlaohed to tbe
saloon, a young mao, whose name we
understand is Cranston, had been aoting
in a disorderly manner, and as he was
at der the influence of liquor, tho bar
keeper, Mr. Herter, promptly "fired
bim out.” Subsequently, wbilet Mr.
Herter was behind tbe counter,
with his back tnrncd, Cranston, who had
stepped into the plaoe again, approaoh-
ed nim quietly, with a billiard cue in his
haud, and suddenly struck Herter on the
head with the heavy part of the cue, com
pletely shivering it and knocking him to
the floor in a semi-unconscious state. The
disturbance attracted the attention of
Magistrate Russell, whose office adjoins,
and who with a couple of officers has
tened into the saloon to ascertain the
osuso. An attempt was made to arrest
Cranston, but he showed resistance, and
it was only after difficulty that he was se
cured and carried over to the office, whero
ho was placed under the charge of Con
stable White, a warrant meanwhile hav
ing been issued. Daring tho temporary
absence of Magistrate Russell, the young
man attempted to leave theplace, when offi
cer White told him ho was a prisoner
and oould not depatt. The prisoner re
plied, it is stated, that ho would cut the
heart out of any cnc who interfered
with him, and displayed &n ngly
kuife as token of his esrnestnees.
He managed to get out of the offioe, and
with knife in hand endeavored to enter
the Waiballa saloon again. Officer Whito
followed him and a struggle ensued,
which resulted in the discomfiture of
Cranston, who reoeivsd a severe blow on
tbe head tith a billy or club in tho bends
of efiioer White, who was compelled to
defend himself as the young man ap
peared determined to cut him.
Meanwhile a physician had been sum
moned to attend to Mr. Herter, and in a
short timo Dr. Fernand arrived, and af
ter an examination of Herter’s head
found that the billiard cue had cut the
ecslp to tho bone, inflicting a very ugly,
though not necessarily fatal injury. He
will, however, be confined to his room for
a fortnight or more.
After a good deal of wrangling, which
collected quite a crowd, Cranston was
subjugated and allowed to wash the blood
off his face. He was then put in a wagon
and sent to jail, where ho will bo kept
until an investigation oan be had.
Returned Jixodusters.
A Mississippi correspondent of the
Nashville American has this to say about
the meagre few of the Kansas Exodusters
who have managed to crawl back decrepit
ana forlorn to their old stamping ground
on the Mississippi:
Tho returning few who have been able
to get back from tho "happy land,” have
had a wonderful effect in ohilling the ar
dor of the prospective emigrant Their
abject poverty, their rags and their
piiObed faces, fella far more eloquent
story, and one that touches the heart of
the negro more foroibly than their verbal
accounts of suffering and want, of disease
and death, of famine and cold.
Some, who a year ago left with full
parses, goad teams, and ell the necessary
comforts; who left with buoyant hopes
and joy;u3 anticipations of tho cosy oot-
tage, the green pastures, the fertile fields
and the abundant crops, with the beanti-
fnl prairie stretohing away to the borison
with herds of buffalo, deer and antelopes
in tbe dlstanoe, and all sorts of things to
make np the picture like the cheap chro
me, whioh delighted their eyes and fed to
excess their imagination, have returned,
broken in spirit and in fbrtnne, having
Isft their teams and honeshold goods in
strangers’ hands, having left some of
their loved ones sleeping beneath the in
hospitable sod of Kansas, glad, only too
happy to get baok themselves to their
sunny Southern home, poorer in tht3
world’s goods, but richer far in c-xp:rl-
enco.
Ethereal mildness still characterizes
tho weather. The temperature yester
day was like April.

EDITORIAL C0R&5SP0SDESCE-
Kimball Hones, Atlanta,
December 4,1879.
The writer was not a little surprised
noon entering the train of the H. & W.
R. R, at Viasville, yesterday, to fiad
passenger and emokin; oir jammed full
of travelers, nearly every oae of whom
were perfect strangers to him. Where
did they come from andwhither were they
going was a pertinent question, which no
one seemed able to answer. Wo had
thought at this period of tho year the

set fn the Junction of Florida, with its
golden orangs groves and blushing flow
ers, and not towards the frigid North.
But business takes peoplo (drummers in
cluded) everywhere, and, doubtless, the
revival of all branches of industry in tbe
country has turned liase and put in mo
tion, to and fro, thousands of capitalists
and speculators bound upon ovary possi
ble errand.
Finding it impossible to "Iooate,”
thanks to the unvarying courtesy of Con
ductor Reneau, the writer was allowed to
obtrude within the forbidden portals of a
luxurious palace sleeping car, which, a:
it was daytime, was perfectly empty
Heie he was “monarch of all he sur
veyed,” and could cogitate, sleep at will,
read, and make occasional incursions or
excursions into the other coaches, not
LIKE A ROARING LION,
seeking whom he might devour, but
faithful jonrnalist industriously hunting
up nows items fo; his readers. Bu*- our
efforts in tne tatter aireotion were almost
barren of results. Perhaps, however, au
indignant oonple, ere this, made one oat
of twain, will enter a tremendous dis
cl-timer to the latter remark. Bat we
did not intend to leave them ont in the
cold. Among oar fellow passengers was
the rxceilent Mr. Hornadsy, pastor of
the Brunswick Methodist church, who
was en route lo Forsyth to marry a young
pair whom, as there are so many
"SLIPS TWIST CUP AND HP,
shall be nameless nntil their union has
bean officially announced. Mr. H. says
Brunswick is thriving and very hopeful
of the future. She has direot communi
cation now with Nassau, trade is brisk,
and the people are jubilant over tho
prospect of the extension to Atlanta,{and,
in due time, to the far Noithwe3t,of their
railroad. It was certainly a most gra
tuitous and disrespectful remark of onr
esteemed contemporary, the Constitution,
that the road which has dono so much to
bnild np Bracswick and
DEVELOP SOUTHERN GEORGIA
began nowhere," that is at Maoon,and
"ends nowhere," which means Broneivick.
That was emphatically a blow "below the
belt" to all ths Banth oonntry not inclnd
ed within tbe city limits of Atlanta, or
the radins of her influence. But it is to
be hoped that this unknown land, whioh
is thns summarily consigned “to the tomb
the capulels," will survive the attack
made npon it by tho "organ of the Capi
tal.” And.en passant, it is impossible to
understand upon wbal ground tho Ccnifi-
tulion, in its so-called issue of to-day,
predicates the opinion that there will be
NO LEASE IN JANUARY
of the M. & B. B. R, no extension to At
lanta, and only a tig law suit with whioh
the State will be lsft to grapple.
Per contra, the Governor apprehends no
farther action on the part of Mr. Stanton
as his movements are blocked by tbe fact
that the State cannot be sued, and is de
termined that tbe leaso shell be off acted
at tbe presoribed timo nnder the preoise
terms of the law. There are other par
ties who will be in the field probably on
that eventful day—one from Georgia,
another from abroad- A lively time,
therefore, may reasonably be expected
when the bidding begins.
It ia as certain then aa any other hu
man event that the

tbe late law.
docketed, is a trial before the SupfemS
Court of tho United States, on the con
stitutionality of the set of the Legisla
ture of Georgia, prohibiting certain
classes of its citizens from bidding at
all upon the lease. This, some of the
disappointed stockholders of the Central
Railroad, or ths oompany itself, may at
tempt. The legal fraternity are divided
as to the possibility of making ont such a
ease.
We cannot assert, however, save upon
rumor, that any effort of the kind is in
tended to be made. Suffice it to say, the
road will certainly be leased to the high
est biddor who comes within tho scope of
tho law, and the proposed extension will
follow of necessity, or tho lease be for
feited.
We have upon the best authority,
that the act of the Governor, in adjourn
ing tbe lease to another day, hasbeon en
dorsed by some of the first legal minds of
the State, but sincerely regret that the
matter had not been differently settled in
the firBt instance. No one, however, has
been hurt in the premises, and it is ex
pected that the
INCREASED COMPETITION
whioh will be developed on tbe next lease
day, when all the requirements of the
act have been complied with, will re
dound more thnn ever to the interests of
the tax payers of the State. Jn;t here,
we wouldi again indulge the hope that
tbo capitalists of Macon and Brunswick
may come to the front, and lease the road
themselves. Certainly no other parties
havo each vital interests involved in the
result.
HEADED OFF.
We made one abortive attempt to draw
ont a prim and natty looking Yankee,
who asked if the writer lived in Georgia,
bat conld get no response on the "Grant
boom,” Hayes’ message, whether wa were
to have a hard winter, the probabilities
of rain, or anything else. So the writer
retired in good order, and ere long reach

GATS CITY IN EAFETY.
Here he was taken la charge by a
"Kimball” porter, and warmly greeted
and comfortably cared for by tbe genial
managers of this magnificent establish
ment.
We found evatytblng in apple pie or
der about their celebrated hotel and ta
ble, servants and rooms all that the most
exacting gueBt conld demand. Maj. W.
H. Soldon, one of the genial proprietors,
is always at his post, and spares no psina
for the comfoit of his patrons. In the
office ho has the able assistance of Mr.
Ed. Calloway, whose name is a house

aud hia sot less agreeable co-adjutors,
Meesrs. W. D. Wiley and E. D. Chris
tian. The Kimball is fairly booming,
and tbo Markham too seems to be enjoy
ing a fair ran of custom. We did not
see Mr. Huff, (perhaps he was in transitu
between hia two homes) but found his
pleasant partner and ear old friend Mil
ler ready and willing to do the honors of
the house.
Atlanta oertalnly is able properly to
support two first class hotels, end we
wish them both euooess.
MUNICIPAL ELECTION YE3TSRDAY
was something new to a Macon man.
Friends of the respective candidates
would sound the merits of their favorites
at the polls in regular auction style, and
tickets were proffered and went olroling
round on all sides. One little urohln had
basketful!, which he was orying in resl
newsboy fashion. Colored and white all
seemed to vote without let or hindrance,
and wo saw no fighting or bnlldczing of
any kind. At one time, owing to the
multiplicity of white aspirants, there was
imminent danger that
TWO OUWB8
would be injected into the city oonncil.
But the alarm was sounded promptly,
some of the candidates "oatne down,"
runners through the city announced the
impending result, and the Anglo-Saxons
and whirs “furriners,” turned out at the
last moment in sufficient strength to de
feat the sabli contestant?, who, by the
way, are eaid to bs very olever and res
pectable colored "gemmen.”
A MUDDY BUT FLOURISHING erry.'.
Last evening the thiok clouds mar
shalled their murky hosts and organized
a torrent of rain which descended piti
lessly for many honra. The streets were
deluged, and the wayfarer out of doers,
trod nnole deep in water even upon aims
of the pavements. If be missed a cross
ing and got swamped in the highway, hia
fate wa3 deplorable indeed. The loss of
a Bhoaor boot, aud a plentiful be-spatter
ing of red clay was the least to bs ex
pacted. But despit it3 mud, and chilly,

ATLANTA IS GOING AHEAD
constantly with majcBtio strides, and so
great is the faith of ber people in the
future of their oily, that albeit many
scores of houses and stores bear on their
doors the omicon3 words "to let," still
such far-seeing end sagacious men as
ex-Governor Brown keep piling np brick
and mortar into artistio and elegant
architeotaral shapes, oonfidant that they
will "be wanted” in due time.
It is a fact, which nous will dispute,
that in this bustling, wide-a-wake oity,
profits and salaries of every kind, from
the Governor of the State and judges of
ths Supreme Court to the lowest errand
boy or counter jumper, are exceptionally
low, and the puzzle is how do the people
make both endB meet. Still they manage
to live, though one store will sometimes
have throe occupants in a single year.
But no sooner does one break, or clear
ont, than another, attraoted by the pres
tige and vim of the Gate City, and tbe
ETERNAL BLOWING
of the inhabitants moves in, if but to
spare tbs fate of his predeopnoor.
Tbe writer asked a merchant what was
the caused of all.tfae hurry and bnstle be
saw about him? "Why,” he replied,
"the majority of the people you see thus
frantically running around, are in quest
of the same half dollar, which will be
needed to get them a dinner."
Georgia has just cause to be proud of
thi3 noble and growing olty, though if
her peopte were less aggressive to mid
dle and lower Georgia, they would be
more popular.

An Eioquentsuence.
The Philadelphia Times, of the 2d in-
stan i, reports cn interview of itseditcr-
in-ohief, Mr. McClure, with Senator
Gordon, in Washington, and speaks in
warm commendation, editorially, of the
views expressed by tho Senator. In that
interview, Gen. Gordon very earnestly ad
vocated the polloy of eilenoe in respect to
the bitter sectional altaoks on the South
ern States, so frequently n ade In Con-
gsres, and states that on this point he is
in fall accord with the most noted Dem.
ooratio conservative Senators, such ss
Lamar,Ransom,,fanes, of Florida, Hamp
ton and others.
Of the piobable effect of such aosarse,
could it be universally adopted by the
Democratic Congressmen, he cites the
case of the last speech of tbe late Senator
Morton—the most bitter and excoriating
invective ever delivered—made np of as
saults, general and particular, personal
and political, in the conrse of which ho
attacked in turn States and communities,
persons and parties, calling upon them
by name to defend themselves, putting
personal questions to Senators and using
every artifice to provoke responses in tho
asms temper. But the Southern Sena
tors, apiraeiating hi3 purpose, agreed
among themselves to make no answer,
and subsequently Morton declared that
he bad never been so outdone in hiB life,
and that he came out of that affair badly
crippled.
But whether silence in respoct to theso
a h frae7"patrioVro dig-
ana manhood, it iB equally to be
_ ruveu. vr..v,; nor f»Qod oan ever come
of an altercation over alleged facts wmen
can never be brought to a specific end
decisive test of truth or error. General
allegations against the Southern peepv,
whiob, in tbe nature of tbe case, are iu-
ospable of particular proof or refutation,
leave publio opinion unohanged and only
inflame popular temper, which i3 the
object sought after in the attack.
The defendants cannot and do not hope
to disarm prejudice or conciliate animos
ity in their responses. They simply con
ceive them to be a matter of duty to their
constituency. But their constituency do
not need any light or information on tbe
snbject-matter, and know that in every
such altercation they are bound to get
the worst of it aB to all material and im
portant points. The object being to
ieep alive and icoreaso the odium of the
outside world—the North has its ear aud
tho South has .little access to it. The
North prints and circulates a thousand
copies of the attack to one cf the reply.
Materially, therefore, (not intellectually)
it is a fight against enormous odd?,
whioh ia always a losing fight, independ
ent of the melts of the controversy.
Tbe more of these controversies pro
voked, the greater tho Southern less and
ths Northern gain.
But it is easy to appreciate the diffi
culties in the way of carrying out this
policy. It demands great and universal
self-control. Tbe impulse of every pa
triotic man is to defend his home and
people whenever assailed, and with tbe
younger, more enthusiastic and less ex
perienced this impulse is almost uncon
trollable. But, at tbe same time, one
spokesman is as good as another in nurs
ing a controversy. In point of faoi, the
lightest exponent of Southern opinion in
such a contest serves Radical purposes
bast. What is wanted is haste, heat, in-
caution and violence. If the policy cf
eilence shall be adopted, it will be a coed
sohool for young representatives. "Is is
impossible," said Costellar, "to keep si
lence in Spanish.” Can young Southern
representatives accomplish that feat in
the English tongue ?

American Wesleyaa.1
An English town missionary, a short
time ago. related a remarkable incident.
There was alodging house in his distriot,
whioh he hEd long desired to enter, but
he was deterred from eo dolrg by hiB
friend, who feared that his life would
thereby be endangered. He became at
length bo uneasy tbat he determined to
risk all consequences, and try to gain ad
mission. So one day he gave a some wbal
timid knookost the door, in response to
which a coarse voice roared out, "Who’s
there?” and at the same moment a vi
cious looking woman opened the door and
ordered the man of God away.
" Let him oome in, and see who he is
and what he wants,” growled out the
same voice. The missionary walked in,
and bowing politely to the rough-looking
man whom ha bad just head speak,
■aid:
“I have been visiting most of the
bouses in this neighborhood to read with
and talk to the people about good things.
I have passed your dsor as long as I feel
I ought, for I wish also to talk with you
aud your lodgers.”
“Are yon what is called a town mis
sionary ?”
" I am, sir,” was the reply,
"Well, then,” said the fieroe-looklng
man. "sit down and hear what I am go
ing to aay. I will ask yon a question out
of the Bible. If you answer me right
you may oall at.this house and pray and

yon like, but if yon do not answer me
right we will tear your clothes off your

for I am a man of my word?”
Additional Particulars of the Affair
The homicide, in Dublin on Tues
day last, has caused no little exoitemext
in that usually quiet little place, and on
aoconut of the relationship of the gen*
tleman who was killed to residents of
this city, considerable interest is taken in
the affair in Macon. We have been
enabled to get additional particulars of
the affair.
For many years a feud has existed
between Mr. A. E. Corbett and Mr. J. F.
Moore. This feeling has[been aggravated
from time by various circumstanee?. Ou
Monday last.Mr. Carroll Yopp, a friend of
Mr. Corbett, had a difficulty with the
msrehsl of Dublio, who is a friend of Mr.
Mcore. In this difficulty Mr. Yopp got
the beet of the marshal. Ou Tuesday
last Mr. Moore was in the bar-room of
Mr. Howard when Mr. Corbett entered
and took a drink aud tbe difficulty imme
diately ensued. After the killing en in
quest was held and several witnesses
examined.
Their testimony, however, differed
considerably as to the circumstanoes of
the killing. Some of the witnesses tea
tified that Moore was the aggressor, aud
soou as Corbett entered he
brushed heavily against him twiae.
Corbett then turned to him and asked
him what ho meant, at the same time
drawing his pis ol and slapping Moore’s
face. Moore then remonstrated with
Corbett, and said thnt he was taking sn
undue advantage of him, staling that ho
was unarmed. Corbett asked him if he
wanted a fair fight, and laid bis pistol
aside.
A hand to hand eneonnter ensued, and
Moore either threw his antagonist to the
floor or over some boxes and barrels in
the store, drew his pistol and commenc
ed shooting, planting one bullet in bis
heart and another ia hi3 brain. Mr-
Corbett died in a few seconds:
Other witnesses testify that Mr. Moore
did not push against Mr. Coibett, but
that Mr. Corbett commenced to slap
Moore without direct provocation.
_Thejury,, after weighing lire testimo-
Moore killed Corbett. The plea of self
defense will bs set up in the case. Both
the putties stood well in the place, and
the affair is much deplored.
