N. II. BIIllR, HiiMiiiOKN .Mnlinger. An American Snob. That’s what Russell Harrison Mr. Murat Halstead, in attempting to palliate the young man's remarkable social exploits in Europe, says : “It was the purpose of Mr. Harrison in going to London, to give attention to some business affairs that concern him, but the unexpected civilities shown him by the Queen and tliq^pre- mier, as the President’s son, according to English etiquette, prohibited him from presenting himself in London as a business man; and he has been in telligent and careful in observing the proprieties.’’ And so Russell posed as an aristo crat. He could not afford to appear as a plain American. It was a dis grace, in his estimation, to be regard ed as being engaged in any business This is simply disgusting. If his lather pulls through his administration with any sort of credit, carrying his snob of a son, and Corporal Tanner, it will be a wonder. Ben Russell. Ben Russell, who was “a drummer boy” in the Bainbridge Independents, -a company in the rst Georgia Regi ment, C. S. A. attended the rc-union of that regiment, at Perry, the other day. He was, “endurin ol the war” promoted to a lieutenancy; and now the remnants of the gallant old com mand have elected him president of the organization.’ Ben Russell was true as tried steel on field of battle, and he is true yet; true to his town, county, state and ^country. May he live long to enjoy many more re-un- ions.with the gallant fellows by whose sides he stood, when death was mow ing down the flower ol the Southern youth. The Central’s Arrangement. There is an entente nnrdiide between the Savannah and Western road and the Savannah, Americus and Mont gomery road, or, to put it plainer,Gen E. P. Alexander, ol the Central, and Col. S. II. Hawkins have come to an agreement whereby the Savannah and Western railway will go no farther west than Sterling, and the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery will conic no farther cast than Sterling. This is the situation as Gen. Alex ander outlined it to a Morning News reporter, and is substantially what Col Hawkins said in Atlanta. Gen. Alex ander says that Col. Hawkins expects to complete his road from McRae to Sterl ing within ninety days, in which time the Savannah and Western is also to be finished to Sterling, and the Sa vannah and Western trains will use Col. Hawkins’ road trom Sterling to Americus, and the Savannah,Americus and Montgomery trains will use the Savannah and Western track Irom Sterling to Savannah, and have the terminal facilities of the Central. Gen. Alexander appeared pleased with the arrangements,, and he pre dieted that Col. Hawkins would not build the road any further cast than Sterling, nor has the General the re motest idea that the road will ever be diverted to Brunswick.—News. The worst misfortune of the stay at- home is not that he is obliged to stay at home, but that he has to listcu to the fictions of all his Iricmls who go away.

The filth section of the lease bill has been reached and passed. But the end is not yet. * # # Hon. A. T. McIntyre, Jr.,of Thomas, has introduced a bill to enforce the constitutional provision against railroad combinations. It will be submitted in lieu ol the Olive bill, and appears to give general satisfaction, as it protects the people and does not, at the same time, stab new enterprises, as the Olive bill did. A resolution to purchase a portrait of Gen. Toombs lias been passed. # # * A deficit of sixty or seventy thous and dollars stares the solons in the face. * * # The house has passed the Brady fertilizer bill, by a vote of tot to 39. The bill provides for pleading and proving failure of consideration on any promissory note or other instrument in writing given for commercial fcrtil izers. # * * The delcat of Rankin’s amendment to the 3rd section of the lease bill, means that the legislature will settle the betterment question itself—not arbitrate it. iATEST TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. STAND UP, MR. SULLIVAN. A Constitutional Convention. There is some talk of call iug a eon stitutionnl convention. It has been the custom to hold such a convention once every ten or twelve years. The last one was held in LS77, and the outcome of it wan the present State constitution, which is pro nounccd by a great many to bo far- inferior to the constitution framed by the convention of 1869. A prominent State official said to a Journal reporter this morning: “Every time the legislature meets in summer session it is a violation of the spirit, if not the letter, of the constitution, and it should be so revised as to permit of a yearly session, as Georgia is growing large enough to demand it. There arc numerous other matters which could be beuclittcd by a revision of the constitution, and a convention should lie called.”—Atlanta Journal. Summer Rates of the South. C.u-i: May, N. J., Aug. 15.—The general passenger agents of the lead ing railroads of the United Slates, in session here today, considered the question of reducing the summer ex cursion rates from the southern cities to the eastern and northern resorts and the equalization of fares from New York to the southern territory, as asked for by the Southern I’asson gcr Association. It was decided to reduce the rates for societies and con ventions.

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 11.—The stockholders of the Atlanta and Florida railroad met to-day and elect ed a new hoard of director? as the the first stop toward doing something for the road.

Maddox and James R. Wvlcy. Judge Hoyt will probably he elected president when the directors organize. The retiring president, Mr. Haas, sub mitted his annul report, showing 811,000 net earnings, all of which had been expeuded in improvements. When the directors meet, they may devise some way to get the road out of the hole it is in. It is state*! that during his tliiik-c-n d illness Mr. May-brick was giron twenty-two diflcrcut remedies. This would seem to indicate that the physicians arc at least equally responsible lor his death with Mr». Maybrick. Why arc not the doctors to be hung as well tut Mrs. Maybrick'! O, we forget; they arc licensed to kill. Ex cuse us, gentlemen.
