Cabinet Changes.
There seems to lie some uncer
tainty about the cabinet changes
which are soon to take place, and
it may be that a gifted and gal
lanl son of Georgia will be called
to the administration of the Inte
rior Department of the govern
ment. We publish below a com
municalion from Washington on
the subject:
Washington, Nuv. 20.—The
Critic Friday evening lias the
following article on the impending
cabinet changes:
"New light has been thrown
upon Lite reconstruction of the
cabinet by certain developments
of the past lew days, and these de
velopments lead in a direction
not heretofore mentioned in pub
lie prints. The (act that Sena
tor Colquitt, of Georgia, has ap
|>cared upon ibe scene is not sug
gestive in itself, but taken with
the fact that he was yesterday
closeted with Secretary Lamar
for several hours after the meet
ing of the cabinet, has revived the
rumor that lie will figure in the
new cabinet deal.
There are various straws which
point to Colquitt as Secretary La
mar’s successor. It is well known
that President Cleveland, when in
Georgia, was very much impress
ed with Governor Gorilon. and
has since his return, to intimate
friends, expressed a desire that
in some way Governor Gordon
might he sent to the senate, where
his ready speech, conservative
sentiments and high character
would be of great value to the ad
ministration.
“It is asserted that Mr. Vilas,
since lie has been looking the
field oter, lias about concluded
that he does not desire to change
his position. The posloffice de
partment to him has been a source
of constant study, and be has de
voter! two years’ bard work to
mastering its details. To accept
the portfolio of the interior de
partment, it is pointed out by bis
friends, would be to tie himself
down to his desk and go through
the same constant, ceaseless work
in acquiring the details of his
new position that lie has already
performed in the iH.su.Uicu depart
ment. This, an intimate friend
of his yesterday said, he did not
believe Mr. Vilas would do. unless
es|iecially urged by the president
to do so. This view of the nastier
is lent additional weight from the
fact that Mr. Dickinson, to whom
the |Hist of postmaster general is
said to have been tendered, has
emphatically denied aucb report.
"Looking at the matter all
around a veteran democratic p«
liticiun said today.that with Col
quilt in the cabinet it would leave
motion to the supreme Bench,
will be Senator Colquitt an the
secretary of the interior, Mr. Vila*
to remain where he is, and Gov
ernor Gordon to succeed Mr. Col
quilt as senator from Georgia.”
Female Suffrage.
The National Woman’s Chris
tian Temperance Union, lately in
session at Nashville, in addition
to the real object for which it was
organized, is about to enter upon
the agitation and advocacy of an
other matter, which does not fall
within the legitimate sphere of
the Union. It seems to he going
far out of its way when it begins
to clamor for female suffrage.—
Miss Willard, in her annual ad
dress, makes this statement: "We
must work out the manifest desti
ny of the municipal ballot for wo
men as means of enforcing prohib
itory law, and emphasize more
strongly than before a national
amendment which shall remove all
legal disabilities from the daugh
ters of the republic.” Whatever
the seotiincnt of the North may be
on this question oi female suffrage,
it is |.erfcctly safe to say that it
meets with no encouragement
among the southern people. They
are opposed to it ms a separate
and distinct proposition, and they
will be opposed to it as a “means
of enforcing prohibitory la
Even if she could by the exercise
of the ballot secure the great bles
sing of universal prohibition, it is
questionable whether the good
would not he more than counter
balanced by the evil results; for
she would certainly sacrifice a
portion of that high regard for her
character which is the highest ev
idenceof Christian civilization To
go out from her home and make
her way tn the voting place, sur
rounded as it alwavs is with a
noisy and turbulent crowd, would
he hiimilialiRg to her, and shock
ing to all our ideas of the excel
lence and purity of her character
The more refined would not sub
mit to tins humiliation, and only
the illiterate and ignorant classes
would avail themselves of the
boasted privilege. But we do not
believe that the bestowrnent ol
this right upon woman would el
feet the good coult-mplaled by
those who advocate it. We do
not lielteve that it would material
ly affect the result of any impor
tanl election. For, admitting that
all women would exercise tin-
right, it is not reasonable to sup
pose that many of them would
vote differently from their hus
bands. The elective tranebise
has certainly been carried far
enough; perhaps too far for the
welfare of the country. The views
of Miss Willard and her co labor
ers are too radical in their char
after to receive the endorsement
of the Southern people.

Not Lincoln and Brant.
The remark of R»bt. T. Lin
coln the morning after Ihe No
rember elections that the result
in New York effectually disposed
of the proposed ticket of Lincoln
and Grant, is being very general
ly commented on, because it ex
presses tbe popular ides ikst in
this country a man must stand on
his merits, sod that as far as he
is concerned the reputation en
joyed by bis fattier or grand
father counts for nothing.
The Republicans have thought
of nominating Rolit. T. Lincoln
for President and Col. Fred Grant
for Vice President, not liecnuee
they believed these gentlemen
were entitled to those positions
on account of anything they have
accomplished, or of any parlicn
lar talents they possess, but be
cause they thought the entires
iasin which would be excited bv
the names made famous by their
fathers would bo sufficient* to give
ihe Republican party control of
the government.
*1 lie faet that Col. Grant ran
behind Ills ticket, however, prov
ed to he quite satisfactory to the
Republican managers that the
son of a great man stands no bet
ter chance than any other man of
getting an office, particularly the
highest office in the gift of the
people.
Robert T. Lincoln is an honest,
straightforward man, who is rap
idly making his way tn the front
ol the legal profession in Chicago.
He doesn’t want an office of any
kind and if he is let alone hewiil
not desert Ins rapidly increasing
legal practice for one. If lie has
any ambition to be President it is
probable tliat he is careful not to
permit ihe fact to be known.
Unlike Col. Grant, lie will not let
himself be user! by politicians for
political purposes. He has plen
ly of enmmon sense, and it lias
kept him from doing many fool
ish things. It may be accepted
as certain that the next Republi
can national ticket will not be
Lincoln and Grant.—Morning

from his looks, that he bad a big elephant

pression on all that saw her that she was

tease tbe negro and to tell him he waa no

negro bore the jeers of the crowd*as long
as lie could, and telling them lie was not
afraid of his horse walked into a store
and purchased a bridle add saddle. When
everything was ready the negro got «>u
her back. The Texas animal made two
feeble “huiups” aud then stood still
as death. Kveryliodv thought that she
had done her worst and that there would
be no more trouble; but it was just the
calm before the storm. The ne^rro con
tinued to kiek her in the sides, and—Je

in the air, aud she humped herself, and
with one mighty effort she made for the
heavens kicking ami pawing. The i -rgre
made a double summersault and struck
the ground about ten feet in front. All
efforts to ride the pony wire useless. At
last wearied a. d disheartened, the negro
tied her to the rear part of a wagon and
told her to co. Tbe last time we saw her

If the compromise outlined is not

ation to the extent of the surplus.
The President and Secretary ol
the Treasury are in complete har
mony with Mr. Carlisle in these
views, and it will lie the general
opinion of Democrats that the con
cessions proposed are the greatest
possible. It were better that all
of the taxes possible should be
lifted front the necessaries, rather
than the luxuries of life, but if
parly ascendancy de|>ends U|x.n
Uw concession of certain points to
a minority of Democrats, it is the
part of wisdom to yield them, if
it can be doiw willwul sacrifice of
principle.
The small minority of Demo
crats qiio are nppnsed to tariff re
duclion, if snch a compromise is
uflbred them, will be forced to ac
cepl it or else take sides with th£
Republicans on the most impor
tanl issue between tbe partie*. If
they should adopt the latter course
they would find it difficult there
after to pose as Democrats. The
result would ptobably be a rope
tilion of the history of the last
two or three Congresses in deal
ing with this question, and the
country would siwin experience a
business depression which the
small expedients of the treasury
for keeping money in circulation
conkl do little to palliate.
The eitaaiion is a serious one.

There being a vacancy in the Board of
Education by reason of the death of Mr,
Geo. \V. Oliver, we have unanimously
elected Mr. John H. Cox, of 10th District
to fill said vacancy.
We find the Public Ronds throughout
the county are in fair condition, but in
main* places could be made much more
creditable to our county. 1^ the 5th Dis
trict the Bridge known as the Ferguson
Bridge, is in a dangerous condition, the
current of water having washed out un
der one end. We recommend that sirid
Bridge he made longer; also one Bridge
in 10th District has two or three danger
ous holes worn through the plank floor
ing, and we recommend that said Bridge
be repaired at once.
When we take a retrospective view of
the history of our county during the last
decade, we find in some instances that
mob law has been a blot on the fair fame
of our county. In others such crimes as
rajK*, murder and arson have been com
mitted at such time and piece that no
clue was left to the perpetrators. Ju our
opinion the means for apprehending and
arresting criminals are deficient. To
supply such deficiency and to prevent
crime, we lecommcnd that a pack of not
less than four and not more than six
4ogs be kept at the county jail subject to
the order of the sheriff, and that a suita
ble person or trainer be employed to keep
aud train such a pack of dogs, and that
he be required to run the pack from one
to three times a w eek, and to go w ith the
pack of d**gs in pursuit of criminals. We
recommend that such j»erson or trainer
be paid a reasonable compensation for
his services. In our opinion such a pack
»f dogs could not only be of use to appre
hend and arrest criminals, but they
would be a terror to evil doers, ami the
presence of such a pack at the jail would
not paly tend to put down mob law, but
it would prevent rape, murder and arson,
to say nothing of the prevention of lessor
crimes.
In conclusion wcWgto tender to his
Honor, Judge John T. Clarke, our high
regards for his very able charge to us as
Grand Jurors.
Also to the honorable Jas. II. Guerry.
we extend our sincere thanks for his ad
vice and courtesies.
Wc recommend that these Present
ments he published in the city papers at
half rates. Respectfully submitted.

have united with Congressmen
Turner. Crisp, Blount ami others
in inviting Hon. John G. Carlisle.
Speaker of the House of Repre
aenlalives, to visit Atlanta soon
and deliver an address on the

gia is not missionary ground in
Democratic politics, but just
around the Atlanta Constitution
office the sound old doctrine of
tariff for revenue needs to be
preached. The idea is not for
Carlisle to evangelize Georgia,

plan. Carlisle is one of tbe very
noblest, wisest and most conserva
tive of living statesmen and Geor
gia warns to honor him. Next
to Cleveland he is our candidate
for President.—Camilla Clarion.
The republicans, although they
will be in a minority in the next

duty will then devolve upon the

by Slates. Iu this possible event
we wonld have a republican for

. New Jersey.
The result of the late election
in the Slate of New Jersey disclo
ses tin 1 fact that the democratic
party of that Stale is in s danger
oualy demoralized condition,
brought about by feuds ami quar
rels among the leaders; anil un
less immediate steps be taken to
secure harmony, the State will,
it is thought, lie lost to the de
mocracy next year. New Jersey
has been considered a pretty safe
democratic Slate, haring elected
democratic governors at every
election since 1SG8. and cast her
electoral vote fur every democratic
candidate for president since LS64.
But with its leaders quarreling
among themselves, the party will
lie in bad condition to make the
figlit for president next year.
—Very few farmers will lie liene-
fitted by the advanee in the price
of cotton. Obligations maturing
in October, absorbed the bulk of
the crop, and those who needed
ami wert entitled to the benefit of
the rise do not get it. This is ontv
one among many other evils tlnit
result from farming on credit, and
is indeed a most significant com
mcnlary upon the present con
dition of Southern agriculture.
Farmers should make every effort
and every sacrifice imssible to free
themselves from the credit svs
lent.
