Georgia democrats will see about this.

Ed. Barrett telegraphs to Atlanta:
‘ Maj. Barnes returned to-night. He
is the last of the defeated Georgians to
return. He looks well and smiling.
When asked about affairs at home he
said : ‘I don’t know anything, except
that there is an organization in Geor

Matt McQueen (colored,) has been
in the employ of the Southern Express
Company at Athens for about twenty
years, and has never lost a day from
business. In recognition of his faith

Princess Maria Anna, of Portugal,
is a young woman who has no use for

to an entitled doctor and in answer to
a friend who asked how she could con

without name, rather than a name

Maria Anna, your head is level, very

Prof. Mayo says the power of the
Mormons is broken in Salt Lake City
and vicinity. They are now in the
minority and have hardly a hand in
the government ot the city in which
they were supreme. The entire muni
cipal government and the schools
have passed into the hands of the
Gentiles. The social customs which
distinguished the Mormons are fast
disappearing. There is even a socie
ty of young Mormon women who
pledge themselves not to many a pol
ygamist, all of which is very encour
aging. _

Rallying to the Road.
The people ofTallthassec and Leon
county are getting in earnest about
reaching 'Ihoinasville with a railroad.
We take the following call for a series
of meetings, from the Tallahasseean:
TO THE PEOI’LE Of LKOO COUNTY.
There arc people in our midst who
make a posi tve and definite proposi
tion to build a railroad from Tallahas
see to Thomasville, Ga., upon very
liberal terms, and they are desirous of
making full explanation of their
plans to the public. All persons,
therefore, who have the welfare of their
county at heart, are most earnestly re
quested to assemble at the following
time and places:
Iamoma, Wednesday, August 27th,
at 11 a. m.; Centreville, August, 28th,
At 11 a. m.; Miccosukie, August, 29th,
at 11 a. m.; Gallie’s Hall in the city of
Tallahassee, Sept. 2, at 8 p. m., to
fully discuss the matter and to have
explained to them the actual and im
mediate advantages that Monticello
has derived by savings in freight, etc.,
through the acquisition of her present
road. There is not a man in this
county but what can well afford to give
one day to the consideration of thts
important matter, as it will necessarily
benefit every individual in the entire
county and it is promised that every
thing done in this matter will be in
good faith and not like other offers
which this county has heretofore had,
as the paries making the present offer
have already invested largely in the
county, which in itself is the most
positive evidence of good faith that
could possibly be produced.

Who Will Oppose Gordon?
It is very generally thought—though
the writer has some doubts about it—
th it some one will oppose Gov. Gor
don for the Senate. Rumor is busy
with the subject. W. R. Goiman, of
Talbott, ex Senator Norwood, Hon. J.
K. Hines, Livingston and others are
mentioned as possible opponents of
Gen. Gordon.
In this connection we take the fol
lowing opinion of a friend of Gen.
Gordon, as it appears in yesterday’s
Constitution:
“His speech will not hurt him, but
on the other hand will help him,” said
a great adtn.rer of the general yester
day. “It took genuine manhood to
make a speech like that under the cir
cumstances. He could easily have
avoided the question if he had wanted
to, and if he had been asked direct
about it, he cculd have said what he
did say at LaGrange. But he wanted
to be open and frank about the matter,
and he simply opened his heart and
said what he thought. A number of
Alliaucemcn over the state are ear
nestly at work for him, and ma-ty of
the Alliance members of the next house
have committed themselves or have
been instructed for him. He wi li be
elected and that is all there is about
it.
Gordon’s friends are shucking off
their coats, and if a sure enough fight
is made on him, the fur will fly. South
Georgia is practically solid for Gor
don.
Even Shepard Cries Halt!
Deacon Shepard, ot the Mail and
Express, has given the colored people
of the south more bad advice to the
square inch, than any crank in New
England, but he has finally called a
halt. On this subject the Constitu
tion, says:
The colored friends of Deacon
Shepard, ot the New Yorx Mail and
Express, have been trying to enlist his
sympathies iu what is called “A Scheme
of a Secret Political Society for the
Organization of the Colored Men
Thoughout the United Slates.”
For once Editor Shepard objects
and bids the colored matt halt in his
career. He says that secret political
societies will cripple his influence and
ruin him generally, and warns him in
advance that he will give him no as
sistance on this line.
But we have discovered the true in
wardness of his refusal. The colored
men who propose to form this secret
society have taken unto themselves
such titles as th* following: “Exact
ed Prophet,” “Lord Chancellor,”
“Chosen Elder,” “High Priests,” “Le-
vites," “High Scribes,” “Sanctified
Phirisees,” and “Worthy Sires,” and
Deacon Shepard is so religious that he
thinks such titles are out 'of p’ace in
politics.
But the scrupulous deacon of the
Mail and Express has much to learn
about the ways of his colored friends.
He does not know that they have se
cret organization in the south that
boast just such titles, as ior instance,
“The Loyal Sons of Ebenezer,"
“Daughters of the Resurrection,”
“Fathers of Jerusalem," “Children of
J ohn the Baptist," “Walkers of the
iery Furnace,” “Sons of the Lion’s
Den." and "Prophets of Belshazzar.”
A Midnight Murder.
Only it cat in Ilia motfrt light;
Only n cat, that’s al];
Only a song nt midnight,
Only a wild, weird waul.
Only a mail impulsive,
Only a reason flown;
Only a dutch convulsive,
Only a bootjack thrown.
Only a sudden sally,
Only an uttered “Scat!"
Only a corpse in the alley,
Only a poor, dead cat.—
Chicago Evening Post.
They Are Coming.
The Baltimore Manufacturers' Re
cord, in its circular,. reports a bright
outlook:
With such activity as this in mid
summer, when Southern peop'e are
closely occupied in getting ready to
handle their great cotton crop, and
when Northern people are waiting for
the return of fall before taking an ac
tive part in Soulhcrn development, it
is difficult to predict what stirring
times will he seen later on in the sea
son. In a month the cotton crop will
he moving freely and money will be
very abundant, and Norihern capita
lists will by that time be ready to b>
gin their Southward march in great
numbers.
Here’s a Chance For a Job.
The Hempstead correspondent of
the Quitman Press inserts the follow
ing in that spicy paper:
Wanted; two editors, one lawyer, a
doctor, and a preacher, to pick cotton
a few days during this hot weather:
Thirty minutes to noon. Price no ob
