(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 tion of Friday loams “that lAT’-ti.

(!., I’d). 5, 1 >?:’>, 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 conservatism of tho whole conn try. ; and has a record that cannot bo at tack J. The republicans r v e at work also, elide; wring to evolve unity out of the claims of a do., i. v wants, th lends of each of who :iy ho i> strongest. Blame has decidedly the inside track, though Conkling’s •iends aro zealously striiing to so citrc a Colliding delegation from Now York, which,they should succeed in doing, will keep the ex-speaker from ever gcEL’g th Tsoi tlmt. State ns Blaine and Conk’ eg aro bit - ter enemies. Tho declaration of Sen ator Sherman in his 1 i ay. n letter, that the venominulion of Grant would “he j suicidal folly,” about settles the th and term question, for that part of his let - ter has been endorsed by all factions of tho radicals, even tho National Ilo ' publican, Grant's homo organ, agree j jng to it. TIIE rOUEIGN NEWS is o f little into ’cst, except that part, of it relating to Cuba. The Govern ment denied to the House of Repre sentatives that any communication upon tho Cuban affairs had been sent to anv foreign power hut Spain, yet it turns out that Secretary Fish sent copies of his Cushing letter published) to our Ministers in Eng i b;rd, France, Germany, Austria, and Russia, with instruct hum t-o lay it be fore those powers. Tula proves that i Grant not only violated thetradition !ul p. .''ey of the Government - - -the I Monroe doctrine- —but, to say tnc i East and use tho mildest language possible, equivocated in bis answer to the House.

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 its in the country amounted to one hundred million gallons annually.

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 1 To reconcile rebellions iinm.” 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 j portion will bo the heaven of rest ami j glory, or remorse an unqueuchablo f) ;e. * Look on! upon the skb s atid see ?J\ . of .-/..it , r>iec-..siirf i oil, Guided by pup i nbound*d soul : Yet Up ■ . -h rl /tine an ! Pave to thee A n enuiu-.s, v;. t oieimt y.” 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. “Shall ’.s. whose sonb live blighted By v, i klo.ii from on high, Fliail \v, io ;i:si banigfitru, Ihe li; pit of] lie (1 my ?

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 in knowledge, _ righteousness, and be :an bo reinstated into Hie fa vor of his Maker, through our Medi ator, Christ Jesus, lie can be the ro cip .' n! o!i every good, and we cannot couoeivp of the attainments in wis dom and virtue of which he is capa ble. If the next half century is as 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 To India's coral slzmil ” 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, j more swift than timo or motion,” and He who said, “Let there be light, and I hero was light,” could no doubt rc ! veal his will, without the interven tion of man.

Amen 1 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.
