fcoTSnitt is supposed to rank first
tihong the Grangers; (!nv. Smith has
the “ins" and is tho ‘right man in
the right place” with the office-hold
er!?; Hardeman is a jolly good fellow, ,
makes a pretty speech and has a host
of personal friends who say “he's ■
bound to win,” whilst Gen. (hart 11
admirers urge his peculiar fitness for
the office on account of his past faith
ful public services and great experi
ence.
Then there is Mr. .Tames, flic ten
dollar man -the liberal patron of the
press who made the wholesale offer to
the newspapers in the Stale, propos
ing to give ten dollars to < \vy one of
them that would ro;>v his biogra
phy” from the Sntitj 'ywlli -is an as
pirant, relying upon his “mmiv frim U
and Christian, benevolent virtues for
success.
Of course the opinion of no man of
less importance than an “efficient
representative" in tho legislature or
outside tho newspaper circle in Atlan
ta is entitled to any com del lion
whatever in regard to the gubernato
rial aspect, which seems to be assum
ing a serious attitude, but in order to
command a bearing and attract the
attention of the Atlanta blunderbus
ses and get their batteries turned to
wards this section of the State, we
rise to say to Col. Allston, of the IT r
atd, that we’ll bet him a whole drove
of wire-grass cows agfuimt his Dur
ham bull that tho “chances” rest be
tween two men Gov Smith, who
has tho ins, and the one of tho other
candidates who lias the most money.
In other words, we mean to say that
in all contests for office and positions
that xhflvld t o stations of honor,
Christianity, benevolence, moral worth
or mental capacity has but very lit tie
to do with a man’s election nowa
days. Indeed, a man’s morality and
strict adherence to principle frequent
ly serve to defeat him in these limes
of political corruption. It takes
money and chaciuerv to secure a
man’s election to an office of honor or
lucrativeness under tin modern polit
ical system.
The man that we would like to see
made tho next Governor of Georgia
was uafoilnnately born poor, and
Las been too conscientious and be
nevolent all Lis life to accumulate
much wealth; therefore wo know it
would do no good to bring him out.
Vv’e hww Gov. Smith has the ins,
and consequently has a wide-spread
influence among the officeholders and
office-seekers off over the State; we
do do l know which of the aspirants
has the most monoy, but if Col. All
ston, who writes so ’ nowinglxj on the
gubernatorial question, wi l ! toll us,
then we will give him choice between
that man—tho man who pulls down
the most in the pecuniary scales—
and Gov. Smith, and gamble with him
for that Durham bull.
Tiuplets.—Tlio Atlanta (Jonditu

is a tenant of Mr. Thomas Moore, and
drives a wap-on for him. The chil

suggested that tho county ought to

It is worthy of remark that those

Some most startling' xposuros have
been made in the Senate of the
■ rotteniiosa and corruption that have
cluiraclori/ed the managomefil ef this
i District. When the Republicans, uu
. blcnny long' rto with •laud tho cur
rent of public oja.lion, abolished Boss
! Sheppard’s government, the net np
: pointin'; the com mi: fioi'ers and board
of auditors di •' inctly prohibited the in
crease of the District debt. Tn direct
violation of tho law, the debt has been
increased several mi l 'ions, and tho
people of the United States have
these millions to pay. Tho whole
' matter was thoroughly ventilated by
the Democratic Senators, and to their
credit he it said, sorno llepub 1 icons
joined them in tho work. But under
; the act tho money must bo paid. II
i seems to bo exceedingly difficult to
I get a government for this District.
Suffrage puts power in the hands of
! negro rabble, and they elect the worst
Ithievcs they can find, and appoint
ments by Grant have only proven that
! as a detective, he can beat the negro
rabble, for helms succeeded always in
finding bigger thieves to put in office;
. anew deal will probably be tried this
session.
lunncxciniKST and iieform.
Tho work of reform goes bravely on
in the House. Expenses are being
reduced in every depiu 1 rnent, though
the rad Eds arc fighting tho reduc
tions, and it is feared tho republican
Senate will not agree to the appropria
tion bill, and will, by a cornmitto of
conference, force them up. While the
democrats really desire to reduce the
: expenses as a political measure, they
I can stand that kind of movement.
That the democrats will force a re
duction of at least twenty million dol
lars is now certain. Had they full
power it would be more than double
that sum. The efforts at reform are
not confined to the finances alone.
There have been many and flagrant
abuses in Ihe judiciary department of
the Government, and the Judiciary
Committee is at work trying to cor
rect these. But in
INDIAN AFFAIRS
con option and rascality are being de
veloped that absolutely startle the
searchers and almost excito incredu
lity at tho magnitude of their raiuifi-
I cations. From the highest to the
lowest, a" connected with these af
| fairs are more or less implicated, ci
: flier in thieving themselves or con
-1 coaling tho thefts of others. The
j bottom facts will not be arrived at for
I some time, ami only those unusually
; favored can hear anything of what is
j being done and that only upon a
! promise of secrecy. Tho committees
i are absolutely forced to this course,
as were their work public, every cf-
I fort would be made to defeat them bj
keeping witnesses away and destroy
ing papers. Quite a number of wit
nesses, summoned from Minnesota
and the Northwest to appear before
tho Indian Committee, have arrived
this week.
TEXAS AND PACIFIC RAILROAD.
The advocates of this road have
beou before the Pacific railroad com
j mittees of both tho House and Senate
during the past week, w ith arguments
: showing not only the necessity but
i the economy of the asked for aid, and
proving conclusively that the Gov
| eminent wil 1 bo amply protected in
[guaranteeing the interest on the
i bonds of the road, which is a ll that is
asked for. The lion. JohuC. Brown,
late governor of Tennessee, is now
: vice-president of the Texas Pacific,
and is hero in charge of its interests,
i Tie declines to use the lobby, or any
•disreputable means, to carry tho bill,
: putting it solely upon its merits as a
great national work demanded by the
; people and for their benefit. Tho Un
ion and Central I’acTie oppose the bill
as it would destroy their monopoly,
| and your correspondent last evening
I heard a man, supposed to be in their
j interest, say these roads “will spend
a car load of moiioy” to defeat the
bill.
PRESIDENT MAKING
continues, and tho friends of the va
rious prominent men arc “working
| double tides” to secure tho nomina
tion of tho : r friends. Senator Ba
yard is tho fayorito of tho hard-mou
! ey men, but the insignificance of the
! vote of his Slate, and the certainty
I that it will go for any democrat,
; weakens his chances aud inercasos
i those of Tildens, whose friends claim
j that his election is necessary to enable
tho party to carry New York.
Hendricks is now tho most favored
jby the western men and by all those
opposed to immediate resumption, it
being admitted that neither Pendle
ton, A’loo, nor any other pronounced
greenback man can carry either New
York or any of tho Eastern States.
Judge David Davis, of tho Supremo
Court, is frequently spoken of, and ho
is more feared by tho republicans
than anyone else, a , he represents the

! The TANARUS: 'A.'!, oililit 1 convesiib.s'i.
The Radicals of Atlanta assembled
at Jmooa’ lla’.l last fiaiurdav ni.' ht,
| pursuant to a call from the chnirnn l:
!of the various republican committed;
[to hear the Hon. Amos T. Akevman,
late United States Attorney, upon the [
j question of holding a constitutional •
! convention in this Sfato. Mr. Aker- 1
' man opened Lis addross by iutrodu-
Icing tlio following resolutions, which
: were adopted by the meeting ;
| Ist. Resolved, That the action ofj
i the house of representatives of Geor
' ii-iii in Dassiue tho lmh for a const;-
I tuiional convention merits the con-j
sure of the citisoPß of this State.
2d. Resolved, That tho refusal of,
i tho house submit tins measure to a
popular vote is an affront to the sov
[ ercignty of the people, and a proof
that its friends arc tloior...mod to we- ;
eornplisli, in defiance of the popular j
will, an object which they are w nsi-,
Mile that the people, if fairly oonsel- ;
, t el, would gemdemn.
3d. Resolved, That, tho oppos.-
lion of the more violent members of j
'tiie democratic party to the present.;
I consftntiou is largely promoted by
their enmity to the union, to liberty
and to equal rights, and by their de- :
I sire to place labor in oppressive sub
jection to capital; and we call upon
, tho patriotic men of all parlies to i
1 frown upon a spirit, which tends, to
! strife between races, and to tho im
| poverishmeut of the at: ie by dmn'g .
[ auy of its laboring people, and repei
i ling useful invigoratiou.
| 4th. Resolved, That inasmuch as
our present constitution was legally
' established by the people of Georgia
after great deliberation ; is wise, just
and convenient in its general pro
visions, and can be amended from
time to tiipo by legislative and popu
lar action, if found necessary ; it
should remain our fundamental law
! until the test <if time shall show it to
■ be radically nnsuited to the character
aud circumstances of our people.
stli. Resolved, That Hoe chairman
I of the following republican commit
tees : tho scale central committee, the
i executive c > nmittes of the fifth cou
-1 gre lionol district, and tho executive
: committee of Fulton county, are re
quested to com mind •■•ale w-ch nil the
; local repiibhean organizations in the
state, and to take proper steps to call
the attention of tho p-opio to this
■ if ure, in order to awaken due in
■ ligimtion against the democratic p.'ir
• iy, which is responsible for it, and to
elect to the convention, if it should bo
held, men who wi’’ resist pernicious
innovations, and submit to toe satis
[ factions of tho people any changes
I which may be proponed.
The Atlanta Cunxtiiulion thus tells
how a Camilla young man got a wife:
Ho arrived at Cuthbort late Satur
day evening, and took quarters at the.
hotel on Sunday morning. Ho called
at the college to see the girl ho had
seen but once before and popped the
[ question. He then returned to town
! and by tlio assistance of tho hotel
| man hunted up a merchant, purchased
j a clean shirt, procured a two-horse
(buggy, went back to the college, took
j in his intended, drove 21 miles to the
town of Lumpkin, obtained the concent
of her parents, procured his license,
married the girl of his choice and re
: turned to Cuthbort, 21 miles, all tho
same day.
Wir: :: AVor.su.I—ln 1 —In a debaio in
the Senate last Monday on the liquor
traffic, Senator Morrill, of Maine,
thought fclio'actaal distillation of spir

hundred million gallons annually.
Calculated the revenue the Govern
ment ehould have collected from a tea
of two dollars a gallon, and aftorvmla
of fifty cents a gallon— subtract from
that amount what, it has already
collected,and leave in the dalancc the
frauds which have 1; .'on practiced on
the revenue. Enoueh has been stolon
to have paid at least half of the

The subject is well worthy the at- i
tontion of tho Christian, ns thereby,
tho happiness of man and glory of j
God are promoted, for tho Bible is th(
oracle of the living God. Tho glow
of tho Shokiuah surrounds it. We |
sannot thrust jt from us, in scon:
or derision, for when wo handle ii
there in a naercdncsa that attaches to
the touch. Tin: letters aro bright, as
though written in gold. They wore
inspired by Divinity. The finger o (
God penned thorn. “Tho sweet
psalmist of Israel said the spirit of
I the Lord spake to me, and his word
was in my tongue.” We find in 3d
chapter Timothy, IGth verso : “All
scnptnro is given by inspiration of
; God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruc
j lion in righteousness.”
Tho human ur'ud unaided by inspi
ration could not have conceived the
i mighty truths contained in tho scrip
l turcs, or imagined tho wondrous lovo
; that brought salvation down to fallen
i man.
“O Inv. ! "V'in'l cone: ptton great,
Tii: i'ni’m.'il the v.‘'t sl.u i-n.lonH ]il:'.ll,
IVP-.v :.U Divine w rieeiines meet

Mfm was formed of dust hy Ins
I Creator, and humanity well befits
i him; hut God breathed into his nos
lv'’s the breath of life. This second
! being, tlio soul, inhabits the earthly
1 tenement, but its iudist.ructiblo ex
istence is derived from Divinity and
| it.-will survive “the wreck of matter,
i and the crush of worlds.” Its otornid

We arc taught in tho Bible that the
wicked “go away into everlasting
punishment; but the righteous into
i life eternal.” This being the case it
is wisdom to receive the revelations
of our Heavenly Father and Saviour
with gratitude and joy ; and to seek
to know what is contained within tho
sacred lids of tho Bible as our great
est gain, so that we may secuie eter
nal happiness. The only plan of re
demption is herein made known to
us ; how wo can please God, obtain
heaven, de pod death and Hell of the v
victims, and magnify the grace of
God.
We should consider it our great
prbilogo, happiness and duty, not
only to hi,"inn ora selves of tho truths
taught in the Holy Scriptures, but to
disseminate them for the salvation of
others.

and there shall be nothing to hurt or

Bible, the more will our hearts bo
filled with love, and the more will we
ilcsivo to draw : aspiration from the
fountain of life. It is a perennial
spring of ever living waters for tlio
refi-f sb.mcnt of a dying world.
God made man in his own image

vor of his Maker, through our Medi
ator, Christ Jesus, lie can be the ro

couoeivp of the attainments in wis

prolific in tlio great, inventions of Hoi
cnco and art, as has boon tho last, wo
will indeed bo, in exaltation, only “a
little lower than tlio angola and
crowned with glory and honor.”
The steam ships that plough the
main and railroads that intersect the
wide extent of territory, both in this
and other lands can be laden with
bibies, and scatter blessings profuse
ly everywhere.
If Christians will give liberally for
the spread of the Gospel, the return
will be a hundred fold blessing. “It
is the quality of mercy to bless him
that gives, and him that takes it is
twice blessed. The saving nature of
their gifts will bo realized from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and
'•From Oveml.uifl’u ivy mountains

As the blazing comet flashes
athwart tho horizon giving evidence
of the glory and power of God, so
tlio telegraph can in a moment encir
cle the nations, and republish the
song of tlio heavenly hosts sung at
the advent of the Savior, 1875 years
ago : “t'lory to God in the highest,
good will to men.” The distant
shores of Asia and Australia will joy
fully reverberate the echo, and the
fingering note:; will nevor, never die
“How beautiful upon (lie mountains
are the fuel; of Him that bvingctb
good tidings, that publisheth salva
tion, that nail.li unto Zion thy God
reigueth.”
To proclaim that tho captive ex'le
may be loosed, can bo done both in I
and out of tho pulpit.
“Awake, awake put on thy strength !
0 Zion!” “Looso thy self from the
hands of thy neck. O captive dangh-1
ter of Zion.” l ! ’ov, thus saith Hie \
fiord, “yo have sold yourselves for |
naught; and yo shall be redeemed
without money and without price.”
The word of God offers mercy to
the sinner, Ihe care-worn and heavy
laden. To tho penitent and mourner
there is “balm in Gilead’ for every
wound. There is a Heavenly Physi
cian, who not only healed tho sick of
every disease and did perform won
derful cures and miracles ; who can
and did cleanse the diseased soul, and
raise the dead, but who, if wo have
faith in Him, will give us new bodies,
incorruptible and full of glory nod
will confer upon us an immortality of
happiness at his right-hand above,
! lie lias said “because I live yo shall
! live also.”
“Immediate are tho nets of God,

Tho Republican journal of the
North an 1 "West are sorely troubled j
about tho.number of bills introduced
in the Hon ho this session by members
from the South, making .appropria
tion for flic . improvement of their
rivers and harbors and other works of
internal improvement. The Chicago
Tribune prints a list of theso bills,
which ask in the aggregate nine mil
lions of dollars. After this amount it
prints exclamation points, and raises
a truly loyal howl about the ex
travagance of the Democratic party
and danger to the treasury if they
should obtain complete controle of it.
The answer to all this is an easy and
simple one. Ten or eleven States:
j South, great in resources, rich in all;
that goes to make a country groat j
and prosperous,rnined'and plundered
for years and years, ask this amount
of money to help them maiuiaiu their
place in tho Union, industrially and [
I commercially. The only wonder i::
; they have not asked ten times the !
! amount. Why, the city of ’Wash
j ington alone is now demanding double I
that sum from the govormont. Now
i York alone lias received four or five j
i million:,' for a single poet office; Phil
adelphia and Chicago us many more
