Bishop, the mind reader, is dead. Albany is kicking about ber local railroad accommodations. And she kicking bard. The great Paris exposition is in full blast. Thousands and thousands ol Americans have crossed the water ko see the exposition. Primus Jones comes to the front with the most forward cotton in the South. Primus has a way of getting there Quay says that the Harrison admin istration is "too infernally pious, Why," he says, "they open oysters at the white house with prayer.” The Georgia farmer is, just now, engaged in fighting the grass and watching the jute trust. Let us hope he will down ’em both. Miss Kate Drexel, of Philadelphia, worth twelve or fifteen million dollars, has entered a convent. It is thought her great fortune will go to the Cath olic church. Bishop Potter, of New York, has stirred up a hornet’s nest among the ' republicans by lus centennial sermon in New York. The Bishop told some plain truths. And that is just what the republicans do not want told. Mr. CarltoD, of the Othcongression al district, refused to endorse or have anything to do with applications for .office under the present administra tion, He is right, Let the republi cans run the machine. Ex-Mayor Hewitt lias been telling the “Britishers” that the South will be the center of the hardware trade. John Bull growls and winces, hut the prediction may come true, all the same. ■ The price of pea nuts will advauce in Atlanta when the legislature meets. There is some probability of a pea nut trust or combine being formed iu At lanta. The legislature would likely “bust” it. The New York Tribune has the fol lowing cheeky remark: “There were enough voters in the United States who had confidence in President Har rison to elect him.” Far from it. It will be remembered that Mr. Cleve land received 98,000 votes in excess ot those giveu to Gen. Harrison, and the former was swindled out of a great victory from the people by the ele.c- * toral colleges. Six states of the Union have already adopted the Australian ballot system and Missouri will soon do so. The prediction is common that in more than half the states this system of voting will be in vogue at the next, presidential election. It will interfere seriously with the business of a large number of republican politicians.— Ex. Corporal Tanner is getting both ■ hands into the treasury. He would have both feet in if he had not lost them. But he is getting, there all the same. The question of the surplus in the treasury will soon be settled under his udmigistration of the pension office. He gave a pension the other day to the widow of a man who committed puicide twenty-two years after the close of the war. He claimed that the war caused him to commit the deed. The departed was a long time mhking up his mind to kill himself. Our New Railroad Alliance. The stockholders of the Georgia Improvement company decided last night to transfer the Atlanta and Florida road to the Americus Invest ment company. The Constitution has urged that this step should not be taken until other resources had been trid and the fullest investigation had. This has been done, and with una nimity Colonel Hawkins’s proposition is accepted as the best. The Consti tution now joins hands with our new ttllies and will do everything in our power to bring these projects to suc cess. Here is what Atlanta will gain! The Americus Investment company now has about 1.15 miles of road stretchiug from Louvale to Abbeville on the Altamaha. This road t runs through a very rich country, passes such towns as Anierieus and G'ordele, aud at Abbeville meets a fleet of five boats which run to Havnnnnh and Brunswick. Atlanta lias the Atlanta and Florida load, reaching from At lanta to Fort Valiev. Qplonel Hawkins proposes to eon nect these two links by immediately building the link ot 12 miles to coir nect these two lines. He feels sure that the work can he finished iu time to move the fail crops. Atlanta will then have—instead of a disconnected link of 100 miles—a line reaching 235 miles into a splendid country, and connecting with a fleet of five river steamers. Store than this. She will have connection with the Georgia Southern road, reaching from Macon to Valdosta, which opens up another territory. But Colonel Hawkins does not pro pose to stop with this. He will not only extend the Atlanta aud Florida from Fort Valley to Cordele, hut he will extend his road from Abbeville to Savannah. This line is now being surveyed and will be asst redly built and will give Atlanta a new and inde pendent line to Savaunah, 13 miles shorter than the present route. It is proposed to build also from Louvale to Montgomery, only 100 miles, and also to Tallahassee, where there is con nection with the gulf at St. Marks. This whole systea of roads, con necting Atlanta with the capitals of Alabama and Florida—with the gulf at St. Marks and the ocean at Savan nah—and with 'almost every part of southern Georgia—will require less than 000 miles, of whith 240 are already built. Colonel Hawkins states evert' point in the state, will be un locked to a new and competing sys tem, ruuning by shorter and director lines aud working under very much lighter fixed charges than the lines owned or leased by the Central.—Con stitution. Thomasville will meet you at Cor dele, gentlemen. Not all Taken. Wasiiixutox, May 14.—The clerks who were detailed from the general laud office to go to Oklahoma to assist the officials at the Guthrie aud King fisher land offices returned to Wash ington to-dny. They state that at Kingfisher about eight hundred entries had been made up to last Friday, and at Guthiie about one thousand had been made. The total number of quarter sections in the territory open to settlement is 10,000, aud hence, less than one-fifth of the whole has been filed. « The force of clerks now employed sufficient to keep up the current work. Many or the settlers, it is said, have gone to their former homes t > settle their private affairs, and will return next fall to complete their entries and establish themselves permanently in the new territory. The scarcity of water has been, to some extent, over come by digging wells. The New Railroad Outlet We call particular attention to th? editorial taken from the Atlanta Con stittftion, in reference to the new sys tern of roads being projected. This new system proposes to reach Thom asville, Tallahassee and the coast There is a magnificent field for inves tors open and awaiting development in this section of the South. In this new era, this awakening tojhe impor tance of new and thoroughly indepen dent lines, Tromasville will not lag be^ hind. She cannot afford to do so.

When the rase was called for trial he filed a plea that since their marriage, ten years previ- ous, he had only whipped her once, and then with his left hand. The jus tice of the peace trying the case sus tained the plea and dismissed the war rant. holding that a husband has the right to whip his wife once in ten years, if he does it with his left hand This decision settles very important marital rights. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, the new civil service commissioner, though a strong republican, in his “American Statesmen Series” pays the follow ing tribute to Lee’s ragged veterans: "The world has never seen better soldiers than those who followed Lee ; and their leader will undoubtedly rank as without any exception the very greatest ol all the great chieftains that the English speaking peoples have brought forth—and this, although the at^tlie two land offices is believed to he last and chief of his antagonists, may himself claim to stand as the full equal of Marlborough or Wellington.” positively he lias his arrangements made for completing the whole system. This will give him a line from Mont gomery to the opean 100 miles shorter than any other—aud 50 miles shorter from Birmingham to the ocean titan any other. The present and proposed lines—called the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery route—ruus almost c'inctly on the 32d parallel, and is the identical route proposed by Mr. Stephens as the first great traus conti nental line. About 200 miles me yet to be built to complete the direct cast and west connection from Savannah, Ga., to San Diego, Cal., and Colonel Hawkins insists lie will build this dis tance. So much for what is promised. We shall assuredly get the eruncction from Fort Valley to Abbeville aud the Altamaha river. We shall in every probability get the extension to Savannah, which gives us a new line to the ocean. This is said to he cer tain, and probably is. There is rea sonable probability that we shall have also a new line to Montgomery, and another to Florida and the gulf. The Constitution has long predicted that there would be, and steadily urged that there should he, a consoli dation of the independent lines in Georgia under one control or alliance, and the connecting of every line by building in the broken gaps. The transfer of the Atlanta and Florida last night is an important step in this direction. We have tt»c best authority for saying that the gap from Cedar- town to Atlanta will he built. This will give, with Colonel Hawkins’s plant most finished, an independent line from Chattanoogo to Savannah, with ramifications into nearly every part of the state. It is significant that, this very morning, a train is put on in Americus that direct to Athens without touching the Cential road nr its dependencies. The work ol con solidation and upbuilding is going on surely if not rapidly, and the time is not far distant when the west, the ocean and the gulf, and practically In Bishop McTyeire’s Place. The hoard of trustees of Vandei- bilt university met and elected Bishop R. K. Hargrove, president of the board, to succeed the lately deceased Bishop McTyeirc. Bishop Hargrove lives in Nashvi'le, and was an inti- mote friend of Bishop McTycire, aud is thoroughly conversant with the af fairs of the University. Bishop Har grove was horn in Hawkins county, Ala., September, 1829. He grad uated from the University of Ala bama in 1852, and was four years professor of mathematics in that in stitution. An exchatfge says that the people of Michigan have about come to the conclusion that they must restore cap- ita'I punishment as a deterrent from murder. It is claimed that the fear of life imprisonment, under the cordi tions which obtain in modern peniteo tiaries, does not sufficiently restrain the class of men most apt to commit murder, as shown by the alleged fact that there aft more crimes of that grade in Michigan than in any state of the union, except, perhaps, Texas. It is stated as a remarkable fact in this connection that the last four murders in the latter state were committed by former residents of Michigan, which goes far to explain why Texas suffers by comparison even with Michigan. The lawless of other states have long sought refuge witbin her borders. The Young Men’s Democratic Club of New York will give a dinner to Mr. Cleveland on flie evening of the 27th. The New York Tribune marks: “With that event, uo doubt, his canvass for the democratic nomi- natign of 1892 will formally begin.” Mr. Cleveland 1ms reason to tesl proud of th® anxiety lie causes tire republic can press. Though he is now only a private citizen they watch his every movement as eagerly as they did when he was President. Evidently our republican contemporaries regard Air. Cleveland as a very live aud po tential citizen.—Telegraph. YVc congratulate the Times-Union upon the splendid fight it made for good local government for Jackson vilie. The bill which passed the Florida legislature authorizes the gov ernor to appoint the city council. Ignorance will he relegated to the rear.
