Mr. Conkling: ‘I got left.’ Mr.
Platt: ‘Me too, Conk.’
Mim.ki: and Lapiiam—par nobile
fratrum—whatever that means.
Justice Clifford^ o! the U. S. Su
preme Court, was reported as dying
lust night at Cornixh.Maine.
Aoccrdinu to the official census
ot 1880, Georgia lias 814,218 whits*,
and 724,765 blacks; total 1,638,983
X ext to l»ob Toombs, Bill Arp is
the most unreconstructed man in the
sontb. It is very hard for Bill to
acquiesce. .
The congressional districts in Geor
gia are too fantastic in shape. They
should lie ‘regulated ot the next ap
portionment.
Home years ago, when Queen Vic
toria took sacrament in a Presbyters
an church, some of the rigid church*
men characterized it as “a disgusting
spectacle.”
A paper in New York says the
use of steam elevators in that city
will soon make ten and twelve story
houses common. The Macon Tele
graph, lit wever, says: “A city shut
out from sunshine and air by twelve-
story buildings will be a pest-hole.’’
Conki.ing says, through his friends,
that he is not dead yet. Glad to
hear it. Let us hope that Conk, and
his faction will have long life and
plenty of vigor. It. would be difficult
to compute the value of this repub
lican division to the democratic party.
A JEW CAPITOL.
One trouble about building a new
capitol is that nobody can tell how
much it is going to cost. The present
legislature may enact a law to build a
capitol at any given price, say a mill
ion dollars, and may provide for let
ting out the contract; but they cannot
bind the next, nor any subsequent
legislature. The price can be increase
e<l to suit the greed of the contractor
or the whims ot a legislature. That
there is danger in this direction is in
disputable from the fact that the ma
jority of public buildings ot this kind
have exceeded their first estimated
cost. Why this is so, we need not
stop to enquire. It is so, and that is
enough to make the legislature very
cautious about any steps it may take.
The capitol of New York has co9t
nearly three times the original esti
mate, and is not finished yet. Gov
ernor Cornell, the other day, vetoed
a bill appropriating 8500 000 to carry
on the work.
Let Vftr legislat ure proceed very
cautiously then. The plans for build
ing should be adopted on a very mod
erate scale, and then if the cost goes
to twice or three times the estimate
the state will not be hurt very badly.
A brick building, to cost four or five
hundred thoii9aud dollars, would meet
with the approval of more people than
a finer one to cost twice as much. In
deed, wo have no reason to believe
that the people at large would care if
a new capitol were not projected for
several years to come. The present
building, we admit, is very poorly
suited to its uses, but we believe the
people, it they had a voice in the mat
ter, would rather hc.ve their publ'i
officers submit to all the present in
conveniences real and imaginary, than
to be taxed to build a fine capitol. If
there is any surplus of money in the
treasury, let it be used to retire bouds,
or let the rate of taxation be reduced.
Most of the advice to the prohibi
tionists comes from the anti-prohibi-
lionists. Men seldom conduct great
campaigns on the advice of oppo
nents. A reflection of this sort
would save the gratuitous expendi
ture of a good deal of ineffectual ad
vice on the part of the anti’s.
THE CONVICT SYSTEM.
The present system of leasing con
victs in Georgia seems liable to griev
ous abuses. Ii looks like the lessees
have the power to overwork and un
derfeed the convicts, and treat them
cruelly in a many ways. The report
ot the investigating committee is un*
atisfactorv. They give the com
plaints of the convicts, but apparently
they did not •earcli for proofs. The
complaints about overwork and too
little food are io l»o expected. Any
work would be too lunch, and the fare
would have to be sumptuous indeed,
not to be complained ot. Probably
there is not a boarding school in the
land where the same complaints of tare
are not made.
While, as we said above, we would
naturally expect the convicts to be
abused under the present system, the
report of the committee does not con
clusively show it. There is another
fact going to show that the present
system is not so inhumane as oue
would suppose, and that is the death-
rate among the convicts. It is only
three-fourths of one per cent. In
Mississippi it is 9b per cent.; in Texas
it is 7 16-100; in South Carolina 5 ;
in Alabama 3 ; in Maryland 2 3-4;
in Virginia 2 2-5; and in pious, cul->
tured Massachusetts, it is 2 2-5. It
would seem that the treatment of
Georgia convicts cannot be very bad,
so long as the death-rate is so low.
Still, we do not like the present sys
tem.
LAPIIAM ELECTED.
Some good men are conscientiously
opposed to prohibitory laws; but
those whose sons have been ruined by
strong drink are not among them.
The expression attributed to Senator
Mcrrimon, and published in the Ban
ner of yesterday, will generally
receive a hearty endorsement from
that class.
Foe the life of us, we can’t see what
there is atti active about a lunatic nsy-
1 ii m that so many towns in Georgia
are trying to secure the location of
one. There is a prevalent idea that
a new asylum is going to be built,
and several towns are getting frantic
about it. Of what advantage is a
lunatic asylum to a place anyhow?
STILL ANOTHER COMET.
Prof. Swift, Director of the War
ner Ohservatoiy, Rochester, N. Y.;
has verified the discovery of another
comet, in the Constellation ot Auriga,
made July 14th, by Prof. J. M.
Schaeberle, et Ann Arbor, Mich.
This new comet is apparently coming
directly toward the earth, and, lor a
telescopic comet, is very bright; in
deed, it can readib'y be seen with a
good opera glass. It is quite remark
able that it should be in just the spot
where the present large comet was
first seen by the naked eye in this lat
itude, and it shows that the two
bodies must have crossed each other’s
paths. This makes the fourth comet
discovered within ten weeks, a cir
cumstance heretofore unkuown
history. Prof. Schaeberle has duly
filed his application for the Warner
prize ot 9200, aud as yet be is the
only claimant.
Between July 1st, 1880 and July
1st, 1881, the public debt of the
United States Was reduced $101,-
573,483. In 1860, the public debt
was only $64,842,000; but two years
of war sent it np to $524,176,000,
and by 1866 it had reached $2,773,-
236,000—the highest point it. ever
touched. During President Jack
son’s administration the debt was the
insignificant sum ot $291,000. It is
now $1,840,598,812.
Hox. JL O. Bacon will accept our
thanks for a copy of the third semi
annual report ot the Railroad com
mission of Georgia, and for other
similar, favors. By the way, Colonel
Bacon did not avail himself of his
leave of absence to oome to com
mer jemenb—thinking it his duty to
remain at his post and do bis 'part
towards expediting the business of the
legislature. Ilia course was com
mendable'* ‘ '
We have long been afraid that the
Gate City Guards would be the means
of plunging this country into a bloody
war, and now our worst fears seem
about to bo realized. One of the ex -
members of the blood thirsty corps,
who rejoices under the euphonious
name of Tom-“Cal” Clayton, is attack
ing Captain J. F. Burke, in the pub
lic prims. We haven’t read the ar
ticles. It would have given us pleas
ure to do so, but ever since the lime
when, in boyhood, we tried to read
Dick on the Sidereal Heavens,’ we
have been deeply impressed with the
brevity of life. Nevertheless, with
that keen intuition, boro of a noble
philanthropy*, we scent danger in the
air. Gentlemen of the G. C.G.s, de
sist. In the name of universal peace,
and of the unparalleled foraging ex
pedition you once made on our lato
enemies of the north, desist. Re
member Mother Shipton ; think of
the comets that are switching their
fiery tails athwart the sky; and de
sist. Thia country is not prepared
for war; and besides, it is too iiot.
In tlie joint convention at Albany
yesterday E. G. Lapham was elected
in place ol Conkling. The first vote
taken showed that Lapham lacked
four of an election. The convention
then took a recess and in the interval
a conference was held of all the repub
lican members and Lapham was nom
inated. When the convention reas
sembled Lapham was elected by a
unanimous republican vote. So the
Boss goes overboard and can retire
gracefully to the quiet of Utica or
hang around and kick up a mu6S when
ever an opportunity offers. There is
some relief in having the business over
with though it might have been im
proved in the choice of men. Lap
ham is a stalwat radical and Miller, a
wood pulf monopolist. New York
has nothing to boast of and the coun
try is disgusted,
THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION.
The startling telegrams on Satur
day of the unfavorable turn which
the president’s case had taken
was the subject of much talk and con
siderable suspense up to the recep
tion of later news on Sunday and to
day., The latest we can get indicates
that bis fever lias not lisen again to
an undue height, nor has he felt any
of the other unpleasant symptoms.
Hopes are entertained that these will
not return again and that his recovery
will progress favorably till he is fully
restored. There are those however,
who have never believed the
president could get well and they look
at any time to hear of a fatal relapse.
THE RESULT OF THE CENSUS.
The Census Bureau at Washington
has kindly sent us the bulletins 210
to 214 inclusive, containing the first
official count of the population of Geor
gia. We can only give now the fig
ures for Clarke and some of the ad
joining counties:
The statement of the population in
relaiion to any militia district, town,
city, or county is still subject to possi
ble corrections by reason ot the dis
covery of omissions or duplications of,
names in the lisU of inhabitants re

The towns and villages marked with
an asterisk (*) are unincorporated,
and their population is given only ap
proximately, as their limits cannot be
sharply defined.

It is some years since the death of Dr. E. N. Calhoun, i
out the South. In his private practioe for manvyeare he used these Bitters with wonderful success. They are how being manufactured sol- lyby
Dr. Calhoun's grandson, Mr. K. E. Williams. They will be found a sure harmless and specific remedy for young when afflicted with what is
commonly known as Green Sickness. They cleanse, purify, and cause a free circulation of the blood, open those obstructions to which Virgins
are liable, and bring nature into her proper channel; giving a healthy tone to the system, and converting the sickly, pale complexion into one of
life and vigor. Ttey are not a patent medicine, but are used extensively bv many physicians in their private practice; and by experience have
been proven the best remedy ever discovered for Delayed Menstruation, Palpitation ot the Heart, Giddiness, Pains in the Stomach and Head
Beating of the Arteries and Neck. Sinking of the Spirits, etc. They will be found an invaluable aid to those females who are about to experience
a change of life, to prevent disorders which usually attend them at this time; by their immediate and specific action on the bowels they carry off
many humorous substances which would otherwise enter the system and cause untold misery and danger to those so afflicted.

Mr. Abe Chance, who owns a
plantation near Green’s Cut, in Burke
county, had left tbe care of his fine
orchard in charge of a colored em
ploye, named Wallaeg Zell. On vis
iting his plantation last Saturday, Mr.
Chance discovered that his orchard
bad been raided, and much of the
fruit destroyed. He thereupon de
manded of Wa’laoe to know who
tbe fruit thieves were. Wallace hes
itated, but was induced by his wile
to tell who bad been stealing the fruit,
and implicated Ida Williams and two
of Tobe Wilson’s daughters (names
not known,) as the guilty parties.
For this, these she-devils incarnate,
waylaid Zell’s wife as she went to the
well on Saturday night, escorted by
