The census gives cordclc seventeen
hundred.
The democrats of Dakota met at
Grand Forks on the 6tli inst. and
r.onfnaled a full state ticket.
The state law requiring that buildings
over two stories high be provided with
fire escapes, is being enforced in At
lanta.
The Confederate Veterans' Asso
ciation of Floyd county have arranged
for a grand reunion and jollification to
be held at the exposition grounds at
Rome on August 15.
All the union printers on the four
daily papers in Los Angeles are on a
strike. The proprietors secured
enough non-union men to get out their
respective papers.
The first Texas bull was sold in
Baltimure on the 6th for the benefit of
the Texas Orphan Asylum at Houston.
It was sold at auction and brought
$220.
Gen. Hazen lias been investigating
the number of destructive tornadoes
since 1S72. He finds there have been
fifty-seven such In different parts of the
Union up to March 57, 1890. The
tornadoes occurred in twenty different
states, and killed or injured 2,725 per
sons and destroyed $12,470,000 worth
of property. Illinois and Missouri
had the greatest number of these visi
tations, and the states on the Atlantic
coast as a rule the fewest.
The gigantic new stock yard com
bine at Chicago wants the earth. It
is accused of intending to lay one of
its octopus arms upon every stock yard
in the Union, be the same small or
great. When it does, if its first work
is to make beef cheaper to the con
sumer and the next to make boarding
house steak tenderer, we shall be pre
pared to forgive it all its sins and pray
for its salvation besides. Gigantic
syndicates need all the prayers they
can get.—Ex.
In a special to the Brunswick Times
from Atlauta, Mr. A. I. Brauliam
says:
Toi}ay I saw the text of a bill that
will make a sensation in Georgia. It
proposes an amendment to the State
constitution absolutely prohibiting bar
rooms. It is claimed that the Farm
ers’ Alliance has passed the bill and
that it will pass, and that the people
will ratify the amendment. Circu
lars favoring the bill lias been circu
lated secretly all over the State. The
leading liquor men of the State arc
seriously alarmed.
Murat Halstead, in the course of a
signed editorial in the Brooklyn Stan
dard-Union, says : “The election law
could not do any good in the black
belt, and elsewhere it would be an em
barrassment rather than a facility.
The republican party would be better
off without it everywhere, and the
solid south is not to be broken by it.
As to the House of Representatives,
this law would cost us several members
and yield no gains.” For once Mr.
Halstead is giving his party sound ad
vice, and stating plain facts.—Savan
nah Times.
Two Henry Clays.
From Macon Telegraph.
It used to lie said that if there were
two llonry Clays, one would elect the
other President. Now there are two
Henry Clays running for Congress in
the Chattanooga district, and one is
sure to lie elected whether hits oppon
ent docs tho work for him or not. The
Republicans linve put up Henry Clay
Kvani, the present incumbent, and the
Democrats expect to knock him out
with Henry Clay Snodgrass. He
might have a prettier name, but here’s
to Snodgrass, anyhow.
Infantry Tactics.
It is well known that formally years
there has been, both in and out of
army circles, a wide-spread desire for
a modification of “Upton’s Tactics,"
and it is no secret that the suicide of
General Upton was largely due to his
laborious and perplexing efforts to re
vise his own boox and thereby save it
from following the fate of Casey’s and
Hardee’s tactics. Of course his sad
and untimely death brought his uusat-
isfaqtory work to a close, and left its
completion open to the world.
After some delay the war depart
ment took the matter in hand and a
Tactical Board of able and experienced
officers was appointed, which is now
in session at Fort Leavenworth, Kan
sas. This board has completed the
“Drill Regulations for Infantry,” and
they have been officially recognized
by the war department for the govern
ment of infantry commands in the ser
vice. The Army and Navy Register,
ol Washington, D. C., a leading mili
tary journal, in its issue ol August 2,
begins the official publication of the
new regulations, the first part being
devoted to the "School ol the Soldier,”
and covering over four solid pages of
that paper.
The object of The News in thus
early calling attention to this impor
tant publication is to suggest to the
officers of all prize drill infantry com
panies in Georgia that they write at
once to the Army and Navy Register
and secure copies (price ten cents
each) ol the issues of that paper for
August 2, and each succeeding issue
until the entire series of regulations
have been published. It nay prove ol
vital interest to all companies entering
prize drills this fall to know whether
or not they are to be judged by army
officers under these new drill regula
tions, or, as heretofore, by Upton’s
tactics. In either case the new regu
lations will prove quite valuable to any
officer who desires to be fully posted
in tactics.—Macon News.
A Letter 54 Years Old.
Wliigham Advance.
The original of the following letter
was shown to us a few days ago, by
Mr. G. B. Trulock, the president ol
the AY high am Mrnufacturing Com
pany. It has been well preserved,
having been kept in the Trulock fami
ly bible for more than half a centu
ry, and shows that there was exciting
times in those days:
Sunday, June 12, 1836.
Dear Sir:—An Express arrived at
Bainbridgc yesterday stating that there
was a large body of Indians on this
side of the Chattahoochee river, on
their way to Florida, and that a party
of whites from Stewart and Sumter
counties (on their way to join the
army) which fell in with the Indians
and was drawn into ambuscade by
only a few Indians showing themselves.
27 whites were killed. There is to be
a meeting in Bainbridgc to-day for the
purpose of concerting some plan of
safety.
Capt. Lester went on yesterday
evening as an express to Thomasville
and to try to get Volunteers.
Yours &c..
Wxt. Powell
To Mr. S. H. Trulock.
Daily Mail to Carrabelle.
The Tallahassee postmaster has re
ceived instructions from Washington
to prepare for a daily mail, except
.Sundays, between Tallahassee and
Carrabelle. This service will begin
August 18 and will include Ben Ha-
den, Smith’s Creek, Sopchoppy, Craw
fordvillc and Carrabelle. The mails
for this route will close at the Talla
hassee postoffice at 5 o’clock a. m.
The Carrabelle postoffice has been
made a money order office and there
is a probability of a daily steamboat
mail service to Apalachicola to run in
connection with the daily mail service
from Tallahassee.
Daring the eight years of tri week
ly moil service between Tallahassee
and Carrabelle only two trips were
missed. This speaks well for the mail
contractor and carriers. The trips
missed were caused by high water.—
Floridian.
Captain'.Wallace Butts, the veteran
commander of the Baldwin Blues, ol
Millcdgeville, died at his home in that
city a few days ago. He lost a leg
and a hand during the war.
FORCE BILL CHANCES-
A Claim That it Can be Passed
Under the Present Rules.
Washington, Aug. 6.—The force
bill republicans in the Senate have
been circulating the report that the
force bill could be put through under
a closure without changing the rules,
and that all that was necessary was
for the senators in charge of the bill to
move the previous question on it.
Senaior Edmunds was quoted as sup
porting this position, and the passage
ol the force bill immediately alter the
tariff bill was predicted. Senaior
Quay, Teller and other anti-force bill
republicans say that there is nothing
in this and that the bill cannot pass
without a change of the rules, and
that the rules arc not to be changed.
Murderers Rescued.
Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 6.—A
special from Quincy to the I'imes-
Union says : “Parties unknown broke
open the jail here last night and releas
ed Oldie Rice and Sam Edwards, who
are charged with the murder ol Jerry
Forlham in Liberty county, and were
placed in the Quincy jail by the Liberty
county authorities for safe keeping.
Edwards and Rice arc well connected,
and as the evidence is very strong
against them it is generally believed
that their friends released them.”
President Polk in Alabama.
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 6.—In
the state farmers’ alliance convention
here to day Col. D. L. Polk, president
of the national farmers’ alliance, made
an address in which he said the demo
cratic and republican parlies were
both side issues when compared to the
alliance.
The state alliance to-night is having
heated debate on the adoption ol the
St. Louis resolutions.
Rewarding the Colored Brother.
A colored editor in Georgia has
been appointed to a position in the
general land office at Washington.
He has charge ol the waste paper
basket and sweeps the back stairs.
Who says no colored citizen can get
an office under a republican adminis
tration.—Memphis Avalanche.
