If you dflp’t.jnibscribe for it anyway—its worth foifr times the price asked for it. The present Legislature has done its work cautiously, but thoroughly, and we believe the day will come when it will be pointed to as the most honest and efficient General Assem bly that has met in Georgia since the , war.—Crawfordville Jlemocrat.

A colonization society in Now York will soon plant a colony in Georgia. We see it stated that this colony will be composed of many wealthy mem bers, who will bring a printing press with them and publish an organ called “The Worker,’’ edited by Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, a lady of great wealth, noted for her many noble acts of charity,and who gave last year over .$30,000 to the. yellow fever sufferers of Memphis. Four of the members of the present general assembly have died. The fourth was added to the list Sunday morning at 6 o’clock, when Hon. Jacob C. Clements, of t he 15th district, breathed his last. For fifteen days be. lay at the residence of Mr. J. C. McMillan, suffering with consump tion. lie. bore, his affliction with a ; Christain fortitude, and when the end came he met it, conscious of no terror and peacefully resigned to the will of God. Atlanta Constitution. A correspondent writes from this city to the New' York Herald that Gov. Colquitt has made up his mind to run again for the gubernatorial office. We are sorry to Lear this, as the Governor will be beaten so badly that he w ill hardly recognize himself after the battle is over. There is music in tMßbr for the present Gov ernor, and lw will save himself and friends a godteeal of humiliation by vacating thiwpild. The people are determined ttfnave a change. -I’ho- The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce has extended to the Merchants of North and South Carolina an iuvlti tion to visit Atlanta. The managers of the Atlantaand Charlotte Air-Line Railroad, feeling a deep interest in the prosperity of this city and sur rounding country, have with their ac customed spirit of liberality marie satisfactory arrangements with the association by which free transporta tion is tendered to such guests as may he designated by the Chamber of Commerce.—Atlanta Post. ——— - ► + •< —■ Col. Thweatterson Pete is out in a circular, that, would have been exclu ded from the mails, if Evan Howell’s bill, preventing the circulation of vul gar and obscene language, had been the law. He is down on Dorse Alex ander, of the Griffin News, like the “seven year itch.’’ and all because Col. A. said in Ids paper what he thought about Col. Pete’s claim (!) against the State of Georgia. Thweatterson has been a candidate for pap before every Legislature since .1870. and now proposes to try his springs for Comptroller Goldsmith’s shoes before the people at the next election. He can’t poll 2AM) votes in Georgia, in our humble judgment. STATES RIGHTS. Al the next presidential election,' the same question will come up for' discussion that has agitated the mind i of the American people, since the election of the elder Adams to the presidency. It is admitted that the people of the present generation , were born in the belief that the I Union of the States was perpetual, although early in our history a few, minds rose superior to the delusion. The foundations for this false theory had been deeply laid in the early liis | lory of the Country, and had been by a false but ingeuius ■ It was heralded by derna-1 I Rogues in New England that the ; , Union was the first of the struggle 1 jMtii the mother country in 1876, and n pm-chased by the blood of No doctrine more. , KBbtieous, in fact display or in* iff* Wsing the passings <;f WWiiusscs. ev<»- promulgated.

Revolution of’76, instead of securing the independence of the thirteen States, resulted in the establishment of a grand consolidated government, to be under the absolute control of a numerical majority. The Republican party boldly throw down the gauntlet, and its leaders are already proclaiming from the stump the issue, they intend Io make in the next campaign. But they are being met by the Democrats, who carry the standard for the hosts, that are con troverting (be centralizing ideasand pernicious errors, and its behooves every Democrat to be ready to enter the light mid do valient service for the. cause bis party has espoused. Let there be no laggards, no schisms, no bickerings, so far as national politics are concerned. We van split on local affairs ami act as independently as we | please, but for the good of the coun try ami the cause that every Southern i man bolds dear, let us have a grand united Democratic column in 1880, i that shall meet no impediment in its march to victory. - - . The present epidemic in Memphis | has shown that the negro is nearly as ; liable to yellow fever as the white I man, but that the disease is far less j likely to prove fatal to him. Since the. beginning of the epidemic two hundred and thirty-eight negroes have hmm taken with,! he fever.to two hun dred and ninety-three whites. Ou the other hand, one hundred and fifteen whites have died and only twenty four negroes. For the week ending | August 161 li, the record is still more astonishing. Os seventy-one cases of whites reported sick with the fever. ! (hirty-sixyar more than one-half, have died, whim to one hundred and twelve ' negro fever patients, there were only ten deaths, or barely nine per cent. It has been said that the present fever in Memphis is of a mild type, but these, figures do not support that theo ry, as two out of every five white leases die. This is a mortality far | greater than either of the epidemics of 1873 or 1878. Savannah News. The Swiss Government abolished the death penalty some years ago, and its prisons are in consequence filled with criminals. The govern ment finds (he support of these con victs somewhat expensive, and yet cannot afford to turn them loose on the country. It is said a solution of the difficulty has finally been reached, which is to ship the aforesaid crimi nals to the United States as emi-‘ i grants. The practice is already pur-‘ | sued by the German Grand Duchy of Meeldenburg-Schwerin, which uses Chicago as its penal settlement and pays the passage of all its criminals I to that. city. It is difficult to believe that a mul- I titude of people equal in number to one-fourth the population of the Uni ted States have recently been destroy led by famine in China—yet such is the statement that comes on the au thority of Mr. Forrest, the English! Consul at Tientsin. Nor lias the ter rible visitation yet passed away. Try The Georgian six months. NORCROSS. Busmess called us a few days ago ' to this thriving little town, and we* were pleased to see that it is gradual ly rising again from the blightniug effects of the hard times that the country at large has Veen suffering I j for the last few’ years. The town Las’ a good hotel, two steam mills, a tine | school, several stores, and to its (Credit—no barrooms. This place is’ the home of Messrs. Heard and Sat : terwhite, two of the most ly and hard working officers of the Air Line Railroad. E.

No, indeed: you can’t do it the matter will be properly looked into. Now we w ill move over to Banks I county and look at the tax receiver’s J digest for the year 1879. We find property given in very low, though about reasonable enough. Since then . we find the same property run away out of sight, within the last few days . on the banks side of Bellton. So w hen the Banks superior court meets on the first Monday in October, the • grand jury will be duly notified of these facts and the. investigations must begin, and I think the tax col-; lector of Banks county will have | much more taxes to collect in the Bellton district than formerly. lit people have a motive for swimming in high water, they must pay high toll. I want the grand juries of Hall | and Banks to look into these matters i | mid these parlies may expect nothing i short of paying tax on the high value i of their property, if it is so valuable.; . I’ush the investigations in all depart- , ments throughout the Slate, and let 1 the guilty suffer. More anon. Justice. I San Francisco is in n state of riot in I consequence of the shooting of Kal lach, the Workingmen’s candidate for the Mayoralty, by Charles De Young of the Chronicle. The cause of the shooting was the use of abusive tind .highly insulting language, madw use I of by Kallaeh in a speech against 1 Charles and Mike De Young, broth ers, and editors and proprietors of the Chronicle. Charles De Y'oung drove; I in front of the private entrance of the Metropolitan Temple, called Kallaeh ; out, and on his coining out on the . sidewalk, shot him in the breast and ; again in the back as Kallaeh retreated i into the doorway. The report spread l that their candidate was killed, and the wildest fury seized upon the mem bers-of the Workingmen’s party, w ho threatened to lynch both the brothers j and destroy the Chronicle office. The DeYoungs are in jail, where they will be protected from the mob by the civil power at all hazards. The Chicago Times sometimes says a sensible thing. For instance, it be lieves that “no more absurd infatua tion ever possessed large numbers of men than that which has directed the migrating negroes to Kansas, and the persons who advised these unfortu nate people to go to that State were I not more malignantly idiotic than the . ; Governor and others who are endeav ' oring to keep them there. The call ' for assistance in this fool’s work is preposterous. If the blacks can be. persuaded to move on or to move back to some country which needs ; their labor or has means to support ; them, there would be genuine benev ; olence in helping them on their way. As for Kansas, her safest course would be to summarily squelch her asinine Governor and establish a shot-gun j ipiarantine against any further Sene . gambian invasion.’’ Dr. H. V. M. Miller makes the as sertion that no old Whigs have had anything to do with the crookedness in the Slate during the last ten v ears. THE SITUATION. Hon. John G. Thompson, the noted ■ J Ohio Democrat politician, says in an ; •' interview’: “Our side feels very con-; lident ofits ability to carry Ohio, not ; withstanding the Republicans talk so , glowingly of their own prospects. "We Dio not take much interest in the Tam many-Tildeu fight. If the New York Tire defeated this fall the State may be depended upon, all the same, to give a majority for Tilden < next year. But if we win this fall’s election in Ohio I think we will stand 'a good chance of having our candidate , accepted by the national convention. : Our claims w ill be great, and the can didate will be Thurman. There is no 'truth in the rumor that Mr. Tilden has expressed a preference for Just ice Field for President. If Mr. Tilden should he nominated, we Democrats earoiild like to see Senator Conkling j pitted against him. New Yorker against New Yorker. Mr. Tilden unquestionably posses ses qualifications as a candidate which no other man has A great many men •of the country believe that he was cheated once and unjustly deprived of his office. Many Demoerats. to be sstire. think he did not show as much courage «s was desirable in asserting his claims. But I take it that the sober thinking men agree that the fault was not a bad one, and that it was better on the whole to pursue a course which insured a peaceful solution to the ditli |eulty. though at his own expense. Mr. (Hendricks could command the support ' |of our party in Ohio. Indiana and Ohio are very much united in politi- Iwl sympathy.” i .If more men would try to live by work, instead of by their wits, some | of them would make a better living, j Who are the Legislators going to I borrow from when they exhaust all) i the State’s money by the extra ses- I sion ? A man out West has killed his phy sician. and tin' occurrence, is so un ftistial a one that the papers can’t find , ; type enough to express their astonish- ; I ment. Senator J. B. Cumming, of this city, ;is the most polished and graceful i speaker in the General Assembly, laud one of the best debaters in the Senate. There is talk of organizing a legal i code of ethics. One of the regulations • is to be that no lawyer will be allow !ed to speak in a higher key than is i ordinarily used in common convcrsa- ■ lion.—Augusta News. A Georgia Congressman the other day, while undergoitig the boring i process of a newspaper interview, jsaid the only fear he had about the , Independent parly was that it might Irevive the Radical party. It seems | to us the only way to hold the Demo- I jeratie parly together in Georgia will ; Ibe to rerfi-e the Radical party and in- ■ Iject new life into it. We must have • • a common enemy to tight er “bust.” Napoleon made war upon other conn- ' j tries that France might keep united: and her internal troubles cease. So !the Democratic party in Georgia) inuist have a common enemy to op- 1 ! pose, or split into factions. Eighty thousand majority is too much for the : iparty. It is too unanimous. The party must purge itself of all ) (corrupt parasites, expose the wicked- : ness of unreliable members, and thus heal old sores and gain fresh strength. —Hawkinsville Dispatch. The Fair of the Northeast Georgia ) Fair and Stock Association, to open at the Fair Grounds in this city on ; Tuesday, October 7th. and continuing balance of the week, promises to be a complete success. The manage ; ment are determined to make it first class in every respect as nearly as possible, and are “working like bea- ■ vers” to secure that object. We trust they will receive the hearty co-opera- . tion of all our people, so that we may ; have an exhibition of which our whole i section of the State may feel proud.— Athens Watchman. The editor of one of the Chicago religious weeklies has been taking a , ride over the Northern Pacific Rail i road—presumably on the dead-head plan. He was much pleased with : w hat he saw. and he is confident the road will prosper, because its ex- President. President, and three of the chief officers belong to the same de nomination that he belongs to.— New’ York Sun. — The travel over the Northeastern niilroad is very heavy now both wavs. During the last twelve months this road has. out of its net earnings, paid the interest on its bonds, bought a new engine, and laid up a surplus. A lirst class passenger coach will be purchased before a great while. Send us 25 cents, 50 cents or 81—we want a little money. No foolishness. NEWS ITEMS.

The Democrats of Ohio are in good spirits, and say they are on the high road to success in the approaching campaign. i The. debt compromise scheme in Tennessee failed before the people, and now it is in order for tlm* State to settle up or shut up. Judge Erwin and Solicitor General Mitchell are again on the war path. ; Evil doers should hide out, or pre pare to face the music. The Post il Guide, just issued, shows that the number of post offices in the ■ United States has doubles since 1852, ■ now numbering 41,000. South Carolina papers speak of the I serious illness of the Rev.

The New Orleans mint is now turn ing out silver dollars as fast as the ; coining machine can be rim. About I 350,000 of the dollars will be coined i during this month. The grasshoppers are committing terrible ravages in Indiana. In manv places the ground is eaten bare of every vestige of green. The corn i crop is suffering greatly from them.
