Well, it is said that the mountain
Bell will tingle no more. It was a
good one when it did chime, and its
clear reverberating sounds will long
be echoed when many who now jeer
at his defeat are forgotten.—Madison

General Hancock conies out of the
fight with honor. Not a word has he
said or a letter has he written that
does not reflect the highest credit on
bis honor as a man, or his abilities as
a statesman. He was too noble for
the American people.
If anybody labors under the mis
take that the Democracy is not the

wnke up mighty sudden ere long.
When a few scamps, who keep up in

Senator Suddath, of Banks, is the
first independent that has ever repre
sented his district. He whipped liis
fight by strong common sense and
manly energy, and is one of the most
reliable and steadfast men in the
Senate. When he sifts a bill through
his judgment, it will do to bet that it
is a bill that ought to pass Atlanta
Constitution.
Gen. Walker, superintendent of the
census, says that he will have the cor
rected returns of the enumeration of
the population of the United States
prepared and ready to transmit to
Congress by December Isth. If the
reapportionment is not made by the
Democratic Congress at the next ses
sion, the members will have no one
to blame but themselves.

The increase of work and wages
predicted by Republicans, if Garfield
was elected, are coming with a ven
geance. One shoe firm in Portland
has already reduced the wages of ils
female employes on certain grades of
work from 65 cents to 30 cents per
case. This is just what the firm pre
dicted would happen if Hancock was
elected.—Maine Standard.
Official returns received at the State
Department in Atlanta show Black’s
majority in the First dir trict 3,670;
Turner’s in the Second 4,615; Cook’s
in the Third 3,777; Buchanan's in the
Fourth 2,774; Hammond's in the Fifth
4,814; Clement's in the Seventh 845,
and Speer’s in the Ninth 4,064. Mr.
Blount received 8,373 votes in the
Sixth, and Mr. Stephens 11,241 in the
Eighth. There was no opposition to
cither of these gentlemen.
The colored immigration fever is
encroaching upon Southwest Georgia.
The Albany News and Advertiser
says: “An immigration meeting was
recently held by the colored people
of Georgia and Alabama, on the
Montgomery fair grounds, at which
the attendance was estimated at be
tween four and five thousand. A
determination to move somewhere
seemed to actuate ail, while Kansas,
Colorado and Liberia were the favor
ite places. The majority favored
settlement in the young African re
public.”

The Greenville (S. C.) Daily News
publishes a letter from Senator Wade
Hampton, in which he says: “I think
it very important, especially to the
South, that the Democratic party
should retain its organization. The
fact tlint our friends at the North
were not able to give us as large a
vote as they hoped for, is no reason
that wo should desert them. The
policy of the party will be dictated
by future events. I regard the Presi
dential election as settled, and 1
should oppose any action looking to
a contest on mere technical grounds
as revolutionary.”
The Republican majority in the
next House was secured by Democra
tic apathy and by party dissensions in
several Southern districts. The loss
of the first Arkansas, the second Vir
ginia, the third Louisiana, the ninth
Kentucky, the tenth Tennessee, the
eighth and other Missouri districts
are to be ascribed to these causes. In
all these districts, from which Repub
licans have been chosen, the full and
combined Democratic vote is over
whelming. The five districts named
would have secured the next House
to the Democrats by a fair majority,
if the party had held together mid
the party vote had been polled.
THE TREASURER'S REPORT.
We have not the time to examine
this report, and copy the following
from the Atlanta Constitution. The
concluding paragraph is a deserved
compliment to a worthy officer:
“Treasurer Renfroe suggests that
the 8107,000 of outstanding four per
cent bonds be called in on the first of
January. The act authorizing their
issue leaves it optional with the State
to call them in before maturity, and
as the coupons will fall due January
Ist, Treasurer Renfroe thinks it will
save trouble in the calculation of in
terest and the preparation of vouchers
to call them in at that date. ‘
“In October, 1879, the Treasurer, in
connection with the Comptroller, was
instructed to institute a systematic in
vestigation into the official term of
ex-Treasurer Angier, and report the
finding to the next General Assem
bly. The retiring Treasurer says that
such an investigation, covering five
years of the vast financial transac
tions of the State, and required to be
systematic, is a very tedious matter,
involving such care and so much time
and labor that it could not be done
by either himself or the clerical force
authorized for the Treasury. For the
same reason the Comptroller has been
unable to give any attention to the
matter. It lais therefore not been
practicable to make the report called
for by the Legislature.
“This report of Treasurer Renfroe
is his valediction. The State has
never had a more faithful and con
scientious officer. Under his admin
istration the credit of the State has
been greatly elevated, and not a dol
lar of the State’s funds has been mis
appropriated or lost. An officer never
had a better record.
“Rover” disappointed us this week,
and we take the following legislative
news from the Atlanta Constitution :
Jos. E. Brown was elected United
States Senator, last Tuesday, on the
first first. In the Senate, Brown re
ceived 28 and Lawton 16 votes. In
the House, Brown received 118 and
Lawton 48 votes—electing Brown by
a majority of 82.
Judge James Jackson was elected
Chief Justice to fill the unexpired
term of Hon. Hiram Warner, and
also for the full term.
Martin J. Crawford was unanimous
ly elected Justice to fill the unexpired
term of Hon. Logan E. jjleckley.
For Justice to fill the unexpired
term of Hon. James Jackson, Judge
Geo. N. Lester received, on the third
ballot, 74 votes; Speer 65, Clarke 35,
Park 20, Hansell 14, Hawkins 8. No
election up to the lime of going to
press, but we arc pulling for Lester.
Mr. Estes introduced a bill to pro
vide for a branch lunatic asylum in
Hall county. Also, a bill to provide
that there shall be but one grand jury
at each term of Hall Superior Court.
There is already talk of an adjourn
ment after the elections are over and
the appropriation bill is passed until
summer. The idea takes well, and
adjournment is probably in sight.
What we want in Georgia, Messrs.
Members of the Georgia Legislature,
are not speeches but people. Devote
your energies to turning the tide of
immigration into the State. Give ns
Irishmen, Englishmen, Germans and
French. Pour them into the State
until we shall rival New York in her
millions, and you will give us wealth,
enterprise and prosperity. Don’t be
afraid of them. Remember we all
came from that stock. Right here in
Darien we have them in our midst,
nnd they are amongst our best and
most enterprising citizens—conserva
tive in politics, faithful to their ad
opted State and her fortunes. Sustain
our commissioner by liberal appro
priations and give us immigration.
The people of Georgia don’t want
any narrow-minded, penny-wise illib
eral policy, and we believe that our
Representatives will meet our de
mand—Darien Timber Gazette.
The Greenville (S. C.) News trul v
and concisely expresses the prevail
ing sentiment of the Southern people
in these words: “Now let every man
ignore politics as much as possible;
support the Democratic party as long
as a fragment of it remains to cling
to; borrow no trouble from the fu
ture, but resolve to bear it patiently
and bravely when it is forced on him.
and above all devote his best thoughts
and efforts at any self-sacrifice to build
ing up the material interests of the
South, developing her resources, and
making her to be self-supporting,
rich, and in the front rank of civiliza
tion and progress.”
——
Gentlemen of the Assembly—There
are to-day young farmers, thirty years
of age, at the Dahlonega college, learn
ing to read. There are grown men,
Georgians with the rest of us, who
snatch a few months from the hard
work of the farm, to seek Dahlonega
and spend their days and nights in
craving search for the commonest
knowledge. Can any man, who loves
his State or his race, refuse an appro
priation to an institution that opens
the doors to such students as these'?
■ Atlanta Constitution.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
What of the Democratic party ? A
few years ago it had the electoral
votes of only three - Stases in the
Union. Twelve years agt it received
the electoral votes of seven States.
Eight years ago the Democratic par
ty carried the electoral rotes of only
six States. After that disastrous elec
tion an attempt was made to disband
the Democratic party. This endeavor
was vigorously made in Ohio in 1873,
and received ten thousand votes in
this great Republican State; and Mr.
William Allen was elected Governor
of Ohio in that year. If after three
such depressing national elections in
1864, in 1868, and in 18T2, in which
the Democratic party catried respec
tively but three States, revan States
and six States, the Democracy refused
to abandon the party niine and the
party organization, and t> forget the
party glories, the party name and
organization are not likely to be
abandoned now, or the party glories
to be forgotten. Four ytars ago the
Democratic party carried nineteen
States and a majority of the electoral
vote and a majority o>thc popular
vote. In the election just ended the
Democratic party has carried one-half
of the States and received one-half of
the popular vote. Nothing but an
accident, or a combination of acci
dents, prevented it from winning the
Presidency. It was not the popular
voice; it was not the fair expression
of the popular will, that gave the
Presidency in 1880 to the Republican
party. A fair, unintiiniiated, unpur
chased, unmanipulated, honest vote
of the people of tha States would
have given the Presidency to the
Democracy. Under sich circum
stances the Democratic party shows
no disposition to disband or disinte
grate. There may be »>mc internal
reorganizations, but the old party
that lias gloried in so intny triumphs
and whose name describes it, will
fight the good fight. wRI finish the
course, will keep the faith, nnd there
is a crown laid up for it.—Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Sectionalism did it—with comcthing
added. Gov. Colquitt, ol Georgia, in
his inaugural address at Atlanta, last
week, referred to the defeat bf Gen.
Hancock, and deplored it as an evi
dence of the decline of the Republic.
He declared that the main reason
why Garfield was elected was the
Northern hatred of the South, and
expressed the fear that sectionalism
would be perpetual because of North
ern intolerance. The Georgian Gov
ernor might have adduced bribery,
bull-dozing and bigotry as amongst
the reasons. Voters who cared noth
ing for solidity of eitfier North or
South were Influenced by these con
siderations, and colonization came in
to swell the remits. And when, ns
the New Haven Union suggests, Re
publican stalwarts tire talking about
a solid North electing Garfield, they
should study the figures and ascertain
how many Northern States were Won
by slim majorities. The returns show
that a very slight change in the vote
of a dozen Northern States would
throw them into the Democratic
column.—New York Star.

The Indian Springs Argus is in
favor of calling a spade a spade. It
says: “We are fully persuaded that
the time has come when the people
of Georgia should call things by their
proper names. If a man is a Demo
crat call him a Democrat. If he is a
Re| übliean, call him a Republican.
If he is opposed to Democracy and
does every thing he can to defeat the
nominees of the party, for God's sake
; don’t call him a Democrat, for he is
i far from being one. Call him any-
I thing else, but don't let him be a
goat in sheep’s clothing.”
Among the younger members that
Northeast Georgia has sent down,
none stand higher than Messrs. Lit
tle, of Franklin, nnd Quillian, of
Banks. From the first day of the
session these gentlemen have been
studious, attentive and straightfor
ward. They have been in their seats
constantly, and have voted honestly
and fairly. By their pleasant man
ners they have made many friends,
nnd are esteemed and respected by
all with whom they have been
thrown. Banks and Franklin, always
well represented, have never had bet
ter members than these ‘boys,’ and
they will do well to keep them.—At
lanta Constitution.
