8xm» works ago the Tzusoxarn expressed
the opinion that the Oarliete wocld capture the
Spanish government, simply from tho want of
oohealon among their opponents; and although
anbetqaont eventa seemed likely to oonfonnd
that prediction, it now appear! to be In oourae
verification. The Spanish government ic now
in the bands of a minority of even the Bepnb
lfein party by the snfleranoe of the majority,
who abstained from tha ballot in the vain hope
of quieting the Irreconcilable!. It lx wielded
by the so called Federal Bepnbtioane, while no
donbt the Conservative Bepnblieana hold the
majority. On the one hand, the Conservatives
hold the Kadieal government iu distrnst and
oentempt, and on the other, it has to deal
with a legicn of howling opponents in the
shape of rede, internationals and communists.
This in its own household. Outside of the so-
called Bepnblioan family are other legions of
opponents working in the dark—the royalist ad
herents of d.ffarent claimants to tha throne—
end in the field sre ihe Cartiets, the only
really vigorous and united opposition, who
have Hang down the gsnntiet and proclaimed
their determination to conquer the way to
supremacy. The prestige of opposition is
alt with the Csrliits—they are united, deter
mined, daily galniDg adherents, winning suo-
oeaaes and makiDg progress generally. It aeem»
to na. therefore, that Ihe Oarliita hold ont jn-
cow the only avenna of escape to Spam, from
the hon-ora of mere anarchy. Bnt the Oarliats
are the embodiment of reaction and will carry
Spain back to the 15 b century. Whether their
regime will be much tetter than anarchy, we
are unable to aay.

THE GEORGIA PKEJUL
The Drawl.* of the (treat Kentucky La(<
levy—The Lottery System Generally and
Its Effects.
Mention baa already been made of the for
tunate or rather nnfortnnate results of this
*>uga gambling mill, whose revolutions were
watched with snob breathless attention by thou
sands.
The.Lonlavilte Commercial of tho 9;h instant,
devotes almost an entire page to the pnblioa-
tion of the lncky numbers, and gives quite a
thrilling aooonnt of the drawing. One poor
woman who “had invested all her money in six
quarter tickets,” fainted when it was anconDced
that aha had drawn bnt ten dollars. Another
gentleman who was tho owner of only one quar
ter ticket paid 75 tor the extras published,
and aat np until midnight, bnt to learn be bad
drawn a blank.
The excitement among the people la repre
sented to have been intense, and thousands
upon thousands of the silly and oroduloua found
their hard earniDgs which bad been expended
for tickets, gone “where the woodbino twinolb."
One silly Irishman, who bonght a quarter tio-
ket, fearing that other partien might get posses,
alon of the three remaining quarters and anatch
the prize from him, bonght them himself and
tore them up. The whole ticket drew $1000,
and aa he coaid not produce bnt a single quar
ter, was paid of oourae only $220. This son of
Erin was ready, about then, to smash all the
orockery in Cork.
It is difficult to oonceive of anything more
demoralizing to a people, than these huge legal
gambling machines, which praotic'ally'disconn-
tenanoe honest and patient labor, end offer a
premium to idleness and speculation.
If the uninitiated would only make a study of
tbo doctrine of chances as laid down in logtoal
works, they wonld learn that tha prospect of
drawing a prize is almost infinitesimally email.
Indeed it la about equal to tho hope some day
being left the sole heir of a foreign million
aire, who you had never even heard of. Look
around for an instant and oonnt the scores npon
soores of acqnaintanoej who hsve all their lives
been Investing in lottery tickets, and find one,
you oan, who Is any the richer for it And
ts true, too, that money gotten thns is easily
parted with, and aoidom proves of any substan
tial benefit-
Bnt the chief injury is to tho rising genera
tion. In tho sweat of tby face, it u pro
claimed in holy writ, shall thon cat thy bread.
Bnt tho lottery says buy a ticket and yonr for
tune is made, and caso and independence as-
anrod withont effort. Hence idleneas and un
rest among those who are jnst starting in life,
and temptation to resort to the gamiDg table as
means of subsistence. How bard to realize
that plodding Industry and strict integrity are
the only oertain and honorablo paths to respec
tability and fortune! The only stain resting
npon the proud escutcheon of our noble com
monwealth, is the miserable policy which
promptod her to divide by lottery, that rtoh
domain which, properly husbanded, wonld have
node her great indeed, and relieved her people
from the burden of taxation for an indefinite
period.
And the folly of the act, aside from moral
considerations. Is' made denbly apparent in
the fact, that those sought to be benefitted, re
ceived indeed but little aid from the distribu
tion. In a very short time, nearly all Ihe lends
ihas disposed of wore in the poaaeaelon of specu-
aiora and jobbers, who bought them up for a
more song. The poor man would take the first
offer, however low, for his “lot,” and content
himself with the reflection that it cost him
nothing.
It is high time that gambling of every de
scription was made a penal offenoe. Bnt never
can this vice be effeotnally cheeked, while these
immense lottery schemes, which are only an
other form of gambling by tha wholesale, are
tolerated by law, and patronized by the best
citizens of the oonntry.
That Big Editorial Staff.
Our contemporary, the Atlanta Constitution,
boasts of having the largest editorial staff of
any paper in the South, and double (soon to bo
treble) the circulation of any competitor In that
“region of country.” We don’t pretend to
join issue with it on either of these proposi
tions, for we have known similar assertions re
peated in substance time and again, even when
the jonma 1 making them was “on its last legs.”
That crowd of editors surely, however, do not
have regard for a proper “division of labor,”
or they xroald be more careful of their exoerpts
from other papers.
In a lata iasne, referring to Mrs. Boykin's
elegant parlor concert, they class Mrs. Bacon,
Mrs. Hunter, Mrs. Wells and Mias Boifenillet
as larytones, all of thorn. They also place the
oonoert nude; the direction of Prof. Czurda,
and then, to cap tho climax, credit the Txnx-
ar.irn asp Messenozh with these statements.
The Professor is an accomplished musician, and
performed his part deftly and well on that oo
eaaion, bnt be will tell you that Mrs. Boykin
was the sole direotress of the evening. Now,
good brothers, which one of yon Is responsible
for this? In sneb a multitude of counsellors,
accuracy at least onght to be the resnlt.
Jr a healthy appetite is good for the brain,
bow clever ought the young ladies of Vasaar to
be ? The steward of the oollege is said to order
generally about 122 pounds of steak for break
fast, and 200 pounds of beef or melton for din
ner. The fair students consume between 270
and 220 quarts of milk daily, and from 72 to
100 poonda of batter. Half a barrel of sngar,
six pounds of coffee, and three nr four pounds
of tern ore need every day. Daring warm
weather they have iee cream twice a week, and
each Ume 1(0 quarts la the allowance. The
quantity of fruits, vegetables, eto., correspond
to three figure*. There ore now six excellent
row boats on the lake, which are almost con
stantly ooeupied dating the day by tits yonng
student*.
Thx Atlanta Constitution of yesterday eays
there was not a death from cholera in Chmtte-
nooga the day before, but four deaths from

Tmt ‘£cpzm Counr —Under this head the
Chronicle and Ssntinel says:
Yesterday morning we published a comment
-otioD. signed ‘ Lawyer," suggesting a plan for
diminishing ihe business of the State Snpreme
Court. The plan is simply to peas a lew pro
hibiting any case from being taken to the Su
preme Court where the amount of money or the
veins of the property involved does not exseed
five handled or one thousand dollars. There is
no doubt bnt tb»t each a lew would very rff=ct
nally accomplish the object for which it would
be intended, and the Court could easily dispose
of its bu'iness in three or four months. In
every one hundred oases carried np for review
at the last January term there were probably not
more than thirty where one thousand dollars of
property was involved. Frequently the amount
at isene ia within the jurisdiction of a magis
trate, and the esse passes backward and forward
throngh three or toar tribunals before it ia
finally determined.

Tmt only local incident that disturbed the

Thx gentleman on the other aide of this paper
reed an original poem last Wednesday at the
Dawson commencement, of which the Jonrnal
uyi:
An original poetioal essay was read by A. B.
Watson, of Mason. His canning introduction of
bitnfolf and "object in verso riveted the atten
tion of tbo andicnce, and the eloquent thoughts
breathed by the poet-orator and which floated
throngh the hall with sweet, and enchanting
aound, blossoming with the fragranoe of knowl
edge, took hold npon enr thoughts, and, so far
aa imagination was conoerned, we yrere a poet
for a time.
Mn. Tecs. B. Howxli,, a prominent citizen
of Pulaski county, died last Sunday.
Heavy di-ouii is Pike and Meziwxtezb Coun
ties.—The Griffin News of yesterday says:
From a gentleman In Pike we learn that a
heavy storm passed in the neighborhood of
noltonville. In Meriwether, in the Caldwell
settlement, it did an immense amount of dam
age and in its traok through Pike, which was
down the river some diatanoe and then throngh
the oonnty by way of Hardhead, It also did con
siderable mischief. House roofs were blown
off, trees torn down, crops and fences destroyed,
and Mr. Ben Irwin's team and wagon loaded
with oats, were blown over. Fortunately no one
was seriously injured.
Tex La Grange Ueporter states that there is
more tick Dean in that place at present than has

On the snbjeot of more factories at Golnm-
bni, the Eaqnlrer says:
Thebe seems to be little room for donbt that
more factories sill be commenced within the
corporate limits ibis fall, to-wit: Eagle and
Phcaalx No. 3, and a new mill of large capioity
nnder the supervision of Mr. J. Bhodea Browne.
Wo say that thore’a little room to donbt that
these two mills will bs oommenoed, for the gen
tlemen who are at tbo head of them know fnlly
tbo importance of Ihe enterprises and recog
nize no such word an fail in whatever they Inrn

Gen. Chilton is soliciting, with encouraging

Tbo case of L. A. Jordan vs. B. O. Keaton,
which was tried in Dongherty Superior Oonrt
last week, was a very important one, and we are
-ati-fitd a general synopsis will prove interest
ing to onr readers. Mr. B. O Keaton gave a
plantation to hia two sons, Wash and Warren
Keaton, snbjeot to and nnder the condition of
his will, after his life time. The two sons gave
lo the father a receipt for Tho same, and it was
inly recorded. Then Wash and Warren sold
the whole place to L. A. Jordan. B. 0. Keaton
then brought an action of ejectment against
Jordan, claiming that the sons bad no right
to sell the property being given to them nader
condition only, and not absolutely—hence no
title ia vested in them. L. A Jordan files a bill
of injunction, enjoining B. O. Keaton from pro
ceeding farther with his notion, as be had title
from them, and bonght it withont notice—
benoe an innocent purchaser. The oonrt ruled,
That this receipt was not a deed, and oonld not
have been oonaidered as properly recorded in
the Clerk’s office, and notiee to the world.
That a will is a disposition of property after a
man’s life time. The jury found a verdi rt in
favor of the complainant in tha bill of eqnity—

Scxx of onr “ largest circulation in the State”
ootemporaries moat have pressed all their edit
orial staff into the servioe of making np the
mails to supply ihe enormous demand. We
jndge so at least from the ippeirenee of their
local and editorial oolnmes. Perhaps their sub
scribers might like a little more matter in these
oo'nmns, and a little less “ iargeet circulation.”
Wz clip this incident of last Tcesday night’s
heavy rain in Booth west Georgia, from the
Americas Republican of yesterday:
Ovxs an Elxpeant's Head.—We have hoitd
very stunting story of one of onr 8nmter
oonnty farmers, living in the vicinity of Dan
ville, whose cotton and oorn crops hsve besn
lost to mortal vision by the heavy rain of Tues
day night. Our friend's cotton and oorn fields
bad suddenly beoome an inland sea, withont
ev^a an i&land to lend pietore-qaeneoe to the
delavian soene. He climbed a tree in the grow
ing gloom of nightfall and aat in tha crotch of
the branches; his arms folded; he given over
to saddest meditations—a picture of despair, a
monument of disoonsolaticn np a stamp. How
long be thns sat and pondered over the logs of
a year’s hard labor and bis ill-lack, we will not
say, bnt in coarse of time the piping voice of
one of his new tenants called his wandering
meditations back to time and piaoe. “Knee-
deep ! knee-deep! knee deep!” cried Mr. B.
Frog, from bis piaoe in a paddle near by.
“Knee deep?" replied our farmer friend, who
svetned to have been sudden'r awakened ; “you
d—n little fool it’s oeer an elephant’t head!”
Bzv. Da. Pizr.cz.—The Southern Christian
Let Both Stand.
Some of the newspaper* have already begun
to discos: the propriety of re-eatabljahing the
reoently abolished dead-headism by whioh ex
changes were carried free throngh the mail* —
Others, again, think the franking privilege
ahonld be re-established, with all its Imperfeo-
tions and possible abua.a. We trust neither
will be done, says Ihe St. Louis Democrat. The
newspapers that are worth living are aide to pay
postage on their exchangee^ and those that sre
not able to pay this bill ought to peas In their
checks aa soon as possible. The franking privil
ege to Congressmen and other cfficialj was
cuisanoe, If onno other ground than the
manner in which it served* to encumber
and delay the mails, to the disadvantage of
legitimate business correspondence. We do
not believe the government will gave a
dollar by it: abolition. The railroads will
reoelye jnst as much for carrying the mails, and
the clerical forces in the post-office: at Wash
ington and elsewhere will not be reduced by
single man. Indeed, the expenses of the de
partment have been increased instead of having
been rt d iced since the repeal went into effect.
Nevertheless, the frank'was a fraud, and its
abolition is a reform which ought not to be ar
rested or interfered with. It wtu a reform in
the sense in which Bnokla defined that word
“not the doing of something right, bnt the nn
doing of something wrong.” Let it stand.

[Letter from George Alfred Townsend in the Cin

My imagination has been touched at Bismarok
by aeeiug a part of the great overland Stanley

This is probably the largest military force
which ever crossed the plains, unless we exoept
Albeit Sidney Johnston's army for the redac

••Gletbe Governor the Kettle-”
The Tribune finds this story travelling
throngh the English papers:
The Bishop of Lichfield hath a taste for walk
ing, and on one occasion, some time ago, he
walked from a church in the Black Country to
tho railway station where he was to take the
train for home. On the way he happened to
observe a group of men sitting together on the
gronnd, and immediately resolved to “say a
word in season” to them, after the fashion of
the Caliph Haronn or the average district tract
distributor. “Well, my good men,” said his
lordship incognito, “what are yon doing ?” The
response of one of the men was not calculated
to pleasp and encourage the amiablo prelato.
“We bin a loyin',” he said. “Lying!” said the
horrified Bishop; “what do you meau ?” “Why,
yer aee,” was tho explanation, “one on u: fua
kettle, and we bin a trjin’ who can tell the
biggest lie to have it." “Shocking!” said the
Bishop, and atra-ghtway improving the occasion
he proceeded to impress upon the sinners tho
enormity of lying Ho informed them that he
had been taught that one of the greatest sins waa
to tell a lie, and, in fact, so strong'y had this
been urged npon him that never in tho whole
conrae of his life hai ho told a lie. Would that
we might relate how those wicked men were
moved .and charmed by the recital of such saint-
iineas l Alas no sooner had tho excellent
Bishop made this announcement than there was
gleeful shout, “Gie lh’ governor th’ kettle;
gie th’governor th’ kettle!’’
An rorcnant, who styled himself La Moan-
tain, mide an ascent at Ibnia, Michigan, on the
4th instant, lost control of hia balloon and fell
to .the gronnd a crashed and lifeless object.

near Bipoll, and the death of their oommander,
Cibrinetty. lie also confirmed the reports of
the internationalist exoeeaea in Alcoy. The
Mayor of Alooy, whom the internationalists as
sassinated was a thorough repnblioan, and had
spent a fortune in the cause. His bedy was
dragged throngh the streets and the mob yelled
continuously. Tho oollcotor of taxes was also
assassinated, and his body treated with the same
indignity, so that he will give no more tax re
ceipts.
Wby they Were Whipped.
The defeat of the government troops nnder
Gen. Cabrinetty by the Garlists commanded by
Saballo. is attributed to a lack of discipline and
good fighting in the Republican foroe. The
troops which were oaptured by the Insurgents,
surrendered almost withont firing a shot and
thns escaped harm.

Advocate says:
Oar latest advices from this beloved veteran
are from Dr. Joseph S. Key, and we ere pained
to s*y, are far from being favorable. The 111-
neee which has reonlted in hia present extreme
prostration, had ila inception in a severe eold,
which fell npon hia lungs and developed e most
distressing end exhausting oongh. For several
weeks he has continued to decline, end his con
dition ia such aa to excite the gravest apprehen
sions among hi* friend* end brethren. Daring
I.., wgcx he was removed from Oohunbna to
the reeidenoe of Ear. George Stewart, (boot
toai mile* from that city. He bore the fatigue
cl the trip remarkably well, and earn* hope is
entertained that th* ehamgt aay bars a happy
tnfiaeaoe npon hi* health.
A heavy squall of wind deliyed the asoension
for three hours, but at the end of Urn time the
air became perfectly calm. Under the direction
of the Professor thu balloon was got into posi
tion, and its inflation with hot air oommenoed.
The canvas soon filled and loomed np nearly
seventy five feet high. The basket waa a willow
one, Of a size sufficient to hold one person com
fortably. It was attached to the balloon by six
or eight iohg ropes, which were fastened at the
top to a round pieoe of wood soma two or three
feet iu diameter. Tbe ropes were in no manner
fastened together between the top tnd the basket
Aa each piece was 100 feet long, it seemed even
to the inexperienced eye that there abonld have
been some webbing or net work, at least, over
the beg or bulge of the oanvaa. It waa Mao
noticed that tbe ropes were unevenly distribu
ted, three or font being in a comparative clus
ter, leaving the other strands far apart. Every
thing being in readiness, the words ‘ 'let her
go” were given, and the air-ship darted np with
great rapidity, while the daring arrenant waved
his hat to the uneasy, uncertain multitude who
almost breathlessly and in silence watched his
:ght. Immediately upon leaving the ground
the month of tbe canvas began to flip aronnd
with great violence. When fnlly a half mile
from the earth, and when the whole atraotnre
locked no larger than a hogshead, the balloon
slipped between the ropee, and was Instantly in
verted. The car and its occupants dropped bke a
shot, and when the ropes were pulled taut, the
round piece of wood before alluded to was torn
from the canvass. With the moat Lrriffo ve
locity the nnfortnnate man descended, clinging
to the betkst. That he wsa conscious was
evident frem his straggles. With all the inten
sity of a life, with bnt one chance, he strove to
raise the basket above him, evidently hoping to
use it as a parachute. He succeeded iu hie ob-
jeet, bnt when ebon! 100 feet high he loosed his
hold, folded hia hands, before hia face, and hia
feet fir-t struck the ground with a dull, heavy
thud. Then ensued a panic end nproer In the
crowded multitude which is indescribable.—
Womer^ fain ted; strong men wept, and, to add
to the oonfusion, the canvas came flying over
the crowd like a huge bird. Some one cried ont
to get ont of the way, aa it would fall with
crashing force. Then the cry waa taken np,
and a general rash wsa mads for mfety, in
whioh many were more or lees injured. L>-
Monotain waa crashed into a literal jelly. Not
a sign of motion or life was visible when he was
reached. A medical examination disclosed the
fact that hardly e whole bone wee left. Many
wore gronnd and splintered to powder. Hia
jaws fell npon hie arms, and were pulverized ;
the blood spurted from hie mouth and ears.
The corpse wsa laid out and placed on the pub
lic square, where it waa viewed by thonaenda
daring th* afternoon, end waa sent to hie home
at Brooklyn, Mich., on tho following day. i
