In this line she can be solid if her people conclude to be so.’’ Tii.de>’ contributed $100,000 to tbp campaign. Judge Poc, the Independent, cars ried Chattahoochee, Harris and Mus cogee counties. Col. Carey W. Styles has bten appointed by the governor judge of Glynn county court. The Atlanta hotels have cauie to bless the time when the legislature meets. The Cincinnati Enquirer takes time by the forelock and hoists the name of S. J. Tilden for president in 1884. There are 861 crippled soldiers in this Slate who have drawu the bounty recently allowed, which amonntad to 864,000. What the democratic party needs now is advice. Every editor is fully authorised to give all he has or can .borrow. Mr. English, the democratic can didate for Vice-President, accounts for Garfield’s election by saying the country was so prosperous that nos body desired a change—all were con tent to let well enough alone. I mm 1 Gen. Joe Wheeler is certainly elected to Congress from the Eighth Alabama District, over Lowe, Green- backer, and present incumbent His majority, however, is only 43. In the last election Lowe’s ma- jority was over 2,500. The Nashville American says: “ We find democrats generally keep ing their upper lips in a stiff condition and their courage dry for use in 1884. Far from the result having dampened their ardor, it has simply determined them to bide their time. The doleful prophets are really fewer than they were in 1872.” It is wid that at a caucus of Gen. Lawton’s friends in the legislature, the other night, the fact was develop ed that he had 94 votes. Our congratulations to Mr. Walsh, of the Augusta Chronicle, ob his re cent good fortune. We know of no roan who deserves it more. The republicans say “ the South must raise less h—11 and more cot ton.’’ They perhaps want a monopoly in the business of “ raising h—11.” Garfield did not get a vote in Coffee, Columbia, McDuffie or Irwin oounties, and only one in Putnam. He got a majority in Mr. Stephens’ county —Taliafei ro. There is a man in the legislature who signs his name “ M. D. C. M. Summerlin, M. D.” The other initials of his name have not come to light yet. Chittenden, who was defeated for Congress in New York, was a con testant lor the light-weight champi onship ot Congress, with Aleck Ste phens. He weighed only 91 pounds The Washington Gazette says that a gentleman of that place voted for Col. R. N. Ely for attorney general, because Ely had once been an admi rer of his wife. • Grant says that Wade Hampton did more than any other man toward the success of the Republicans. But then you know Grant always would say things that nobody would believe. The banner which Gebrgia won from Texas four years ago, for giving tbo biggest democratic majority, must go elsewhere. Texas has given a majority of 70,000, but Kentucky claims it. The New Orleans Picayune says; “No. 329 has been chalked on the While House door. The guns of lib erty have been spiked. John China man shall do the washing for Miss Columbia. The road to a nation’s shame is covered with DeGolyer pave ment. The American eagle no longer soars aloft. T .t is sore all over.” Hon. Emory Speer must feel lonely when he reflects that he is the only opponent ot the democracy in the eutire Georgia congressional dele gation.—Savannah News. Lonely? Just you watch Emory, when Congress convenes, as le saun ters into the hall of the House, and see if he looks lonely. He will come nearer looking like he owned the en tire body. The man who talks about Speer’s being “an opponent of the Democracy,” is talking lolly. A paragraph in the Governor's message discloses some astonishing evidences of Georgia’s wealth in min erals. There are, says the Governor, in the State’s collection specimens of iron ore from 71 counties ; granite from 45 counties; gold ore from 61 counties; limestone from 48 oounties; quartz from 47 counties ; soapstone from 22 counties; mill rock from 71 counties;asbestos irom 28 oounties; copper from 27 counties; corundum from 9 counties; kaolin froth 11 coun ties ; manganese from 15 counties; marble from 6 counties; serpentine for mantels from 11 oonnties. It is said that Ex-Gov. James M. Smith carre near making the Tace against Judge Jackson for the chief* justiceship. By not doing so, he saved himself some trouble and a certain defeat. It seems that plowing a bobtail bull yearling , did not make, Joe Brown’s fortune after all. It is gen erally supposed that the ex-governor started with nothing ana worked his way up. Rev. C. W. Thomas, of Griffin, who says he has knowp Sena tor Brown from his (Thomas’) boy hood, tells a reporter of the News some facts concerning Brown’s' early life. He says Brown married the daughter of the president of the mint at Dahlonega, who, in common jiar- lance, was said to be “worth ’her weight in gold.’’ So it would appear that Joseph had his wile’s oapikil,; as well as his own judgment, for a foun dation for his fortune. It is probable that Johnson, a col ored barber, has been elected to Con gress from the first Arkansas district. His majority is reported to be .1,000. Hjs candidacy was announced but a weelsfhrior to the election. N aw comes a veracious Frenchman and says that Sara Bernhardt has only one child; that she has been living, , tor years, with Clarin, the eminent painter, and that they may be mar- _ ried, for anght anybody knows. . New York is not necessarily a democratic state. It has gone that . way only twice in the last twenty yean. In I860, 1864, and 1872 it was carried by the republicans. In 1868 and 1876 the democrats carried " ‘“ft, 1”’ 1 s l ; I l • , •. The Augusta} Chronicle expresses it thus: “ The Greenback members of the House may control the otganiza tion. ' The only qoettion is, there- * "^srie, tell ont, - ' We fear the Democracy are at a disadvan- ttgo there. .. I 1 : Tur got a majority of the popu. lar vote, of 250,000.

The Land ot the Sky. Looking at the map, it would seem impossible from the mountains delin eated thereon, for a railroad to go lrom noithcast Georgia to southwestern North Carolina. Bat Dot so; nature has designed a way to pass the other wise impossible barriers. The more southern ranges of moun tains seem to be, from wbat engineers say, almost if not quite astrouble ome as the others. The old Blue Ridge railroad, which tried to gei from Soiith Carolina into North Carolina, without making a line through Georgia terri tory, was a conspicuous failure. It was intended to run from ’Anderson, So. Ca., by Walballa, throngh Rabnn Gap, down the Tennessee river and thence to Marysville, and there to con nect with a road to Knoxville. • On this ronte, which ran directly across the mountains, there were such long tunnels and steep grades, that the road was abandoned before it was completed. The proposed route of the North eastern is better laid out. The engin eer decided without hesitation that the best places to cross the mountains were where the streams crossed them; that these were, of course, the lowest points. So therefore he laid the route through the mountains on the south ern side, where the Tallulah river breaks through; and thus without any extreme grades,- be found his way to the elevated basin which constitutes Rabun county. From there the way out into North Carolina is easy enough. Rabun Gap is a natural pass—a place where the sides of the mouiitains slope down until the railroad will actually go across the Blue Ridge mountains with a cut only eighteen inches deep. And it is worthy of note, that with the exception of the pas* near Dalton, this is the only place in all the extent -of this range of mountains where a railroad can be built. This matter has been tested time and again by railroads, and every time with the 6ame result. No other available pass can be found. , „ The mountains once crossed, the fertile fields and rich bottoms of North Carolina are reached. Here the Sa vannah and Tennessee rivers rise. The headwaters of each are in swamps, which are not more than fifty yards apart. Indeed, there can still be seen the remains of a ditch, which was once dng to tarn the incipient waters of the Tennessee into the stream which afterward grows into the broad Savannah. . . . , Here the earth brings forth jilenti* fully, and the fruits of the ground await the iron arteries of commerce to hear them to a market. The ques tion now is whether the road which shall tap this sealed country and cause its richness to flow out, shall be the Northeastern or some other. It is no secret, that the road which first reaches Tallulah Fails, is the one which will go on to Knoxville. The North eastern holds (be key to the situation. Shall the bolt be turned, and the door of this grand enterprise opened to ns and to the world,‘or shaH it remain closed until some other apd readier hand shall do the work ? GEORGIA .YEWS.

It grew out of a speeoh made by Gem Wofford at La* Grange during the gubernatorial cam paign, in which Wofford called Ren* froe a theif. Ex-Govefnor Smith acted as Renfroe’s second, and was the bearer of a'note to Wofford, who de? clihed to receive it ou the ground that Renfroe was no gentleman. This placed Gov.
