The Democrats all over the North
are very much encouraged by the
sweeping victory in Ohio. It is bo- j
lie veil tnat Pennsylvania will follow
suit. m i m _
There was a light frost in Lincoln j
county last Sunday morning, which

This is earlier in the season than for
several years past.
In Arkansas the law makes the of
fense of carrying concealed weapons
a felony, punishable by imprisonment

the law in every State.
The Baltimore Sun says myriads of
wild ducks, from the summer watering
places, have passed southward over

F. M. Coylo was committed to jail
at Romo last Tuesday, as an accessory

There was a grand display in At
lanta last week, it being the occasion
of the Georgia State Fair. The city
was crowded with people during the
week, and the Fair grounds sparkled
with graco and beauty.
Agricultural societies are springing
up all over the State. The thriving
little county of Ware is coming up,
too. Some of its best citizens met
and organized a society last week, and
also appointed a delegation to attend
the Thomasville Fair this week and
make a report of their observations.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, a Demo
cratic pmper, says: Ohio has given in
structions to Congress. Let Congress
heed them. The earliest duties of
Congress will be to pass bills repeal
ing the resumption act and remone
tizing silver. It would be eminently
fit that some Democratic member of
the House from Ohio should promptly
introduce such a bill in that body.
Will Senator Thurman perform a like
duty in the Senate ?
Radicalism is everywhere synony
mous with rescality, extravagance and
fraud. The Boston Post says:
“Twenty years ago, on the acces
sion of the Republican party to power
in Massachusetts, the State had in its
treasury a surplus of $1,790,000 above
all its indebtedness; now there is a
deficit of $15,071,000, or, in other
words, the State is worse off than it
was then by $17,461,000. The war
loans account for but $7,500,000 of
this amount. In these twenty years
it has borrowed $40,000,000, and to
day owes $33,500,000.
An official statement in the New
York Bulletin shows that, on the Gth
inst., there was in the United States
Treasury $81,500,000 of greenbacks
and $11,200,000 of bank notes. Ou
the 22d of June, there was in the na
tional bank of the United States $78,-
000,000 of legal tenders and $20,000,-
000 of bank notes. Besides this, we
may estimate that $25,000,000, at
least, of greenbacks and bank curren
cy are held by the State banks. From
these figures, it would appear that
about $210,000,000 of the two kinds
of currency are resting in the Treas
ury and held by the banks. Deduct
ing this from the $671,000,000 of both
kinds of notes outstanding, we have
a balance of $455,000,000 of paper
money in the hands of our 45,500,000
of population or exactly ten dollars
per head.

The centre of population of the

The gin house of Mr. P. C. Moore,
of Burke county, was burned on last
Sunday night between twelve o’clock
and daybreak. It was the work of
an incendiary. There was no cotton
destroyed, and no insurance upon the
property.
The gin house of Mr. William Hen
derson, of Fulton county, was destroy

the eighth, and it was tlio work of an

the house, but it was filled with hay

MATTERS IN WASHINGTON.
The N(fission of Congress llaiidnll
White House Nominations, mid tilings
In General.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 19.
It is now tho fourth day of the ses
sion, and business may bo said to
have commenced. The Houso is in
much better humor than usual, part
ly because tho Democrats organized
it with so little bad feeling among
themselves, and partly because they >
have so far treated the Republican
minority so liberally. Thus both
sides aro happy. Tho almost unani
mous vote for Randall in caucus was
a deserved recognition of the ability
j and fairness with which, in general,
he presided over tho House at its late
session. He did not please everybody,
but bo pleased more, probably, than
any one else could have done.
The first important act of the
House, after organizing, was to ndinit
two colored claimants from South
Carolina, leaving the contest over the
seats to be made in the Election Com
mittee. This was an act of grace un
expected to the Republicans, it not
being in the least in their line of bus
iness
Then came numerous nominations
from the White House, generally of
an acceptable character. General
Harlan, of Kentucky, nominated for a
place on the Supreme Bench, in place
of David Davis, is declared by Koine
Senators not to be, in all respects, a
man fitted for the place, but as Sena
tor McCreery of the same State cham
pions him, bis confirmation is certain.
None of the names were sent in over
which a contest is expected. It may
be said with truth that there is little
appearanco of a desire on tho part of
Senators to refuse the confirmation of
any respectable man who has been or
may be nominated.
Speaker Randall has not announced
the House Committees, but goes to
day to Philadelphia to think over the
matter. He will there be compara
tively free from the solicitation of
members and the friends of members,
and will be able to make better selec
tions than he could if be remained
here. Everything that Randall has
done or said since his election has
been marked by the greatest pru
dence, and it is believed by bis friends
that the Committees, though their
composition mnv disappoint many
ambitious statesmen, wifi give general
satisfaction.
Senator Edmunds was early on
hand with a proposition to appoint
a committee of senators to inquire in
to the State of the laws on the sub
ject of ascertaining and declaring the
results of Presidential elections. The
Senator will of course be chairman of
the committee. Senator Thurman
offered a resolution to seat Senator
Spafford, Democrat, of Louisiana.
A motion was made to refer Spaf
ford’s credentials to the Committeo
on Elections, and the subject was laid
over. It comes up again to-day. It
is believed that Spafford will be ad
mitted. Senator McCreery advocates
the repeal of the bankrupt law. No
other matters of importance were
broached up to last night.
The text of the letter by which
Hayes induced Garfield to yield to
Stanley Matthews in the Ohio Senr,-
torship contest has been published.
It shows that Hayes not only inter
fered in the choice of a Senator in
Ohio, but that he pledged to Garfield
his assistance in securing votes
enough to make him Speaker of the
House. The letter shows how confi
dent Hayes was at one time that he
could control a portion of the Demo
cratic party in the South, and how
ready he was to interfere in affairs
not propei, pertaining to the office of
President
Seuato, Jones of the Congressional
Sdver Commission, has finished his
report, and it will soon be presented
to Congress. It is not in print, but
is said to be able and exhaustive. It
recommends the remonetization of
silver, and the Senator and the Com
mission’s very well informed and effi
cient Secretary, Hon. Geo. M. Weston,
of Maine, are confident that Congress
will at an early day pass the necessary
bill to carry the recommendation into
effect. What action Mr. Hayes would
take in the event of such legislation,
is purely a matter of speculation.
His vote would be effectual, as, even
if the Commission has a majority in
the two Houses, it certainly has not
two-thirds in either House.

Monday, Mr. M. C. Kimbrough, of
Harris county, had his gin bouse, con
taining nine bales of cotton, consumed
by fire. Nothing was saved, and
there was no insurance. The fire
was caused from friction while the
gin was running. Last year about

Why Will Yon Pine Away I
Without a Parallel. —The demand for
Dr. J. Bradfield’H Female Regulator ia be
yond precedent in the annals of popular
remedies. Orders come in so thick and fast
that tho proprietor has heretofore been un
able to fill them all. He is happy to state
that arrangements are now complete by
which he is prepared to manufacture Female
Regulator on a scale equal to the emergency,
and the public may feel assured that their
wants may now be supplied. Physicians of
high repute are using this great remedy, in
daily practice, all over Georgia. Hereafter
no woman need suffer from suppressed, sus
pended or irregular menstruation. This
valuable medicine is prepared by L. 11.

Hearty , Blooming Widow.
Marietta, Ga., March 9, 1870.
Messrs. Bradfield & Cos. Gentlemen:
You will please ship us another supply of
your invaluable Female Regulator, and for
ward bill by mail. We are happy to state
that this remedy gives better satisfaction
than any article we sell. We have been
selling it since 1808, and witnessed many
remarkable cures by it. Among others,
there was a lady friend of ours who was sal
low and sickly until she was twenty-six
years old, when she was married. Her hus
band lived two years and died. She con
tinued in bad health; in fact, she has never
been what a woman ought to be. A few
months after the death of her husband she
saw your advertisement, and came to our
store*and bought a bottle of your Regulator
from us, and took it according to directions.
It has cured her sound and well, brought
her regular monthly periods on, and to-day
she is a hearty, blooming widow—with the
use of but two bottles of your Regulator,
costing her only three dollars, when she
had tried several physicians and spent a
great deal of money without any benefit.
Wishing .you great success with vour valu
able medicines, we are, respectfully yours,
243-236 W. Root & Sons.

Tho best and Only time, in tho past seven
years, tliat it hiis been clear to the minds of
the planters to jitore and hold their cotton
for higher priofes. The exceedingly short
crop that is being made throughout the cot
ton growing region clearly indicates that
cotton will advance. Tiie crops in Texas,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ala
bama are so completely destroyed, from va
rious causes, thatitbe aggregate will not, ac
cording to estimates made, amount to over
50 per cent, of what was gathered last year.
