Hoksk Dead.—Booth Bros, lost one
of their line horses on Tuesday night,

day night, at a negro tenant quarter.

ly speaks well either for the police or
tlie quality of the whisky sold in our

got left over In our city. It seems
that the bead hostler told them to
come up to the train and he would set
tie with them. The train was just
about starting and the head hostler co
gave one of them a lick ou the bead
with a stick, jumped on the trsin and
left. The four will procure warrants

SPEER AT HIS OLD GAME
A campaign ub caught on the
FLY.
H»» Henchmen’ Dbdelvo a MMeraLte
Falsehood on Col. Candler,
Aed Btsrts It Out by Negro Courier*.
We warned our readers, both white and
black, to be on the watch lor eleventh
hour campaign lies, when It was too late
to correct them. We yesterday caught
up with one as disgusting as it was false.
In ids former campaigns Emory r-pecr
has stooped to every means to turn the
tide of popular opiuiou iu his favor, and
in this canvass he bids fair to surpass all
former efforts. Through his friends he
has denounced Col. Caudler as a liorso-
tliief, un infidel, and as guilty of every
other crime knowu to the penal code
of Georgia. But the gallant ‘ one-eyed
plow boy” met these insulting slanders
as the brave and honest man he is, and
they were one and all flattened in the
teeth of his maligners.
But thore is one thrust that no man—
be he even so pure and true and brave—
can avert. That is the assassin’s dag
ger. When a man strikes behind your
back, or what is equally as degrading,
circulates wilful and malicious lin when
it is too late for you to correct them,
you have a species of political warfare
characteristic to tlie coalition leader in
the ninth district. Both Col. Candler
and his friends have urveil the people to
be on the look out for those eleventh-
hour lies, as they were sute to come
when it was too late to co rant, them.
Thursday night what ua^ ^fh/to be a
letter’, from a mountain county reached
Athens and was duly turned over to the
Speer club, who convened a special
meeting to consider its contents. This
letteV stated that in an upper county
Col. Candler had said in a speech that
he did not want tlie colored vote, and
intended to be elected only by white
men. A number of copies of this infa
mous slander was at once taken, and
early Friday morning Speer’s negro cou
riers started out to distribute them
through tliu black belt. He hopes by
this infamous means to take tlie colored
vote irom Col. Candler.
Now in behalf of Col. Candler wc de
nounce tlie statement a* a lie—a wilful,
deliberate and malicious lie—and it tlie
letter ever came from the mountains at
all U was penned by one of Sjieer’s
henchmen, a corps of whom he keeps on
hand to do his dirty work and lying.
That same old charge was made against
Col. Caudler in Uwiuuett, hut in fre
quent speeches afterwards ho flattened
the lie in the mouths of his accusers.
Believe uoUiiug tlmt you hear ou Die
eve of election, for they are lie*, or the
charges would have been made sooner.-
DEATH OP COL. WM. L. MITCHELL.
Our community was shocked and
deeply pained on Monday to near of
the death of our old and beloved fellow-
citizen, Dr. Wm. L. Mitchell. Hard
ly had we heard that he was ill, liefore
the news reached uu that he had gone
hence, to be no more seen.

respect and love of ull classes of soci
ety, because hii mode aud way of life
commanded it.
To the entire state, but specially to
Athens aud our University, his loss
will be a severe blow. He I i veil to a
good old age. He had completed ids

The Immediate cause of Ills death
was pneumonia, contracted, it is fear
ed, on a recent journey to Washing
ton City, to attend a meeting of the
Supreme Council of the Masonic fra
ternity.
His funeral took place yesterday
evening, from the Presbyterian church.
We hope at no distant day to pub
lish a longer uud more appreciative

11 o’clock that bulldlug was completely

It was then discovered that tills build

tlie hotel piazza. The audience, we
suppose, was about equally divided— ;
one-half colored and the: other white—
who arranged themselves in tlie street in

good government, and he tore the rot

Speer bi-en present they could not have

We are all alive here and
-propose to work this couuty lor all it
is worth. We are invading Speer’s
rank* and ore taking no rest. As I
Dr- Orr,” referred to in this let
ter before me, I will give tlie informs-
tion asked for.
Os facts are these. Speer express-
ed himself as decidedly my friend In
tbe post office matter, said he thought
he could have me reappointed and
would do everything in his power to
accomplish it. This wa* before bis elec
tion. After his election he avoided
me, I could scarcely get a chance to
speak to him.- I soon found that he
had made similar promises to others,
viz: Brydie, a negro, and Mat Davis;
“Iso to A.; H. ttodgson. Mr. Hodgson
,ys he did not make (application .for
je olliceJ TJy obtaining copies at lat
ter* from the poet office department I
have found that Speer did not recom-
K»5. "itt,
rt the appointment. This Was dt>r~
that fir' had not e<tnftned hhnseir'
the interest of negroes.
I,called upon Mr. Speer with a large
petition signed by democrats and re
publicans, white aud black, I had also
fetters from prominent republicans, to
obtain his promised sssistance. He
refused to give it and telling me that
he washed his hands of the whole
thing. Heat once telegraphed the
president to bold over the appoint
ment until he (Speer) uould be heard
from. On the same day he wrote mak
ing charges against Pledger aud advo-
oatiug Brydie. This was ou Oct. 31st,
1881. Speer wrote to United States
Senator, Jno. A. Logan, November 3d,
1881, advocating Bryilie.
In a letter written January 9, 1882,
Speer endorses Mat Davis. He says
that “Davis would be a most accept
able man—he Is a stalwart republican
—has been twice erected to the legis
lature, is tbe Surveyor of the Port of
Atlanta, can give tlie best bondsmen,
is in every way competent, and will
give general satisfaction.” Tlie files
of the post-office department show
that Speer never mentioned my naiiie
at all. • The above referring to Speer’s
telegrams and letters was copied from
letters ou file in the post-office depart
ment and are true, and nodoubtabout
it. Very respectfully, Ac.,

ing that there is * report going the
rouudsand being extensively circu
lated by Mr. Speer’s friends, that Col.
Caudler bad paid Duggar to make the
race for congress, I desire, through
your columus, to state tbe facts: On
Friday, the 20th of this month, T. S.
Garner, of Buford, made a speech at
that place, in behalf of Mr. Duggar,
and.stated that it was reported that
tbe democrats had paid Duggar to
make the race. Mr. ». said that his
republican friends had made a purse
of 4800and hail given it to him, which
he lind given to Mr. Duggar, and that
no democrat had given one cent,
much less Col. Candler.
Any oue doubting this statement,
can write to Mr. Garner, ut Buford,
for the facts. Yotersof the ninth con

A letter now In this city from a
prominent republican, who was ap
pointed to one of tlie beet places in his
gift by she late President Garfield,
says in answer to a question:
“I do not know Mr. Emory Speer,
of Georgia, personally, but it was well
understood here that be bad promised
to vote witb the repu hi loans for speak
er if his vote was necessary to his
election.”.
Here is the gravy of it. At Buford
the other day a gentleman in the au
dience asked Mr. Speer:
4 “Did you promise to vote with the
republicans iu the organization of the
house?”
“The record shows that I did not do
it,” nnswered Mr. Speer.
“Did you uot promise to do it?”
“Thu record shows that l did not
vote with them.”
“That is n it the question. Did you
not promise to do it?”
Mr. Speer never did answer. Tbe
facts are that he promised to do it, if
bis vote was necessary to secure the
election of a republican, but if tbe re
publican could be eleoted without it,
then he was to vote Witfi the demo
crats to preserve a semblance of voting
With the party bo os to maintain his

The Augusta Uhrouiol * <k Constitu
tionalist, comes to Us with an elaborate
article explaluUtg tlie mart of a state
constitutional amendment to the end
that Augustamay-increase lie bond
ed Indebtedness. Tlie case or Augus
ta U so like Mutt oT other cities that
the principle involved is worthy of
more than incidental aiicutipn. Jt
appears that Augusta is in need of “a
beiter supply or pure water, a thorough
system ot sewerage, aud such judi
cious aid to new railroads as will se
cure their completion and thus add to
the volume ot commerce. 1 ' There be-
iug uo diversity of opiuion as to the
importance aud utility of the propos
ed iihprovetueuta, the only question
is how to raise the means necessary
without increasing the present rate of
taxation.” Such is the situation aud
our cotemporary thus concludes:
“The money needed cannot be raised
by direct.taxation, for the reason that
our people are not able to bear the ad
ditional burden.. The only practical
way, theu, is to secure such tegisia-
uou as will enable our eityto increase
its bouUeu indebtedness. This can oh-
ty be done by amending the coustitu-
Uou.’A.i -...ol i —-.j,
0*^%^ ffiaafotrsesa-
ganiiug the- management of a city's
finances had Its orlgUI with the politi
cian class—those whose calling Is to
govern. There never was any sub
stantial reason given why, when the
need arises iu a city’s history for wa
ter works ae distinguished from the
town pump, and for a general system
of sewerage as distinguished from the
roadside drain, the resort should be to
tbe loan market with a blan
ket mortgage, Instead or to the pocket
of the individual tax-payer. It is this
proposition which those who argue
for increased municipal indebtedness
ou the busis of roseate views of future
development should undertake to
prove. The reasoning which seeks to
make good the theory that a city
should always borrow for permanent
improvements, so-called, it applied to
the affairs of Individuals would go far
to stop all accuinulaiiou.
Tbe burden of a blauket mortgage is
as great as that of tlie same amount di
vided pro rata among the individual
tax payers. It is of exceeding inter
est to note the enthusiastic way in
which the Chronicle reasons out how
the proposed increase of debt will be
met by nursing the device of a com
pound interest sinking fund; or, to
put the matter more clearly, how easi
ly the city of Augusta cun pay its
debts by entering upon a prolonged
process of lending money to itself.
Thus:
“If $15,000 a year is not sufficient for
a sinking fund, let one-quarter of oue
per cent, be collected and appropri
ated by tbe siukiug fund commission
ers until 1884. By that time the
amount iu the bauds of tlie commis
sioners will be iu the neighborhood of
4350,000. The interest on tiiis will be
at least 421,000per annum, to be devot
ed to the purchase of bonds. This sum
will answer for a siukiug fund for the
old issue of bonds until the city is In a
condition to increase it.”
The taxpayers of Augusta will do
well to ponder tlie extreme difficulty
of framing a scheme of finance which
is possible in execution, and to reflect
also, upon the fact that if a city will
.tot tax when funds for a particular
purpose are needed, theinoentive then
beiug greatest, she will scarely do it
afterward, unless through the cutting
off of credit by a constitutional amend
ment it be impossible to renew obliga
tions.
Regarding the expediency of this or
that city’s borrowing money to aid iu
railroad construction, it is safe to say
tliut at tbe present stage of railway
and commercial development a pro
jected railway which isiu need of help
from the sale of city bonds should not
be built.
At the beginning of railway con
struction, when it was not possible to
determine either the immediate or le-
rnote future of the railway a* an in
vestment, there was some ground for
asking a loan of credit of this or tha
city, but not so now. It is to be hoped
that the taxpayers of Augusta will
hesitate long before agklug for an
amendment to the constitution to Die
end that they may add to their already
heavy obligations. The Chronicle
says that they cannot stand additional
taxation, apparently forgetting that a
city whlcfi cannot stand this is in uo
condition Jor borrowing, as tbe only
thing it has to mortgage is the ability
to endure additional taxation.

MR.SPEER'S “MY DEAR MAT”
Mr- Spoer in his speech says that hu is
not the president, Die appointing power,
and therefore is not responsible for Die
appointment of negroes to office. But
what does he say in his letter to “My
Dear Mat,” (and remember that he ad
mits ttiis letter in question) when he
supposed no other eyes but “Dear Mat’s"
would ever see it. Here Is the letter
and we want every voter in the ninth
district to read it:

Jfy Dear if at:—I received your letter

do not think that General Arthur * ill
interfere with any of my appointments.
The stal warts arc not enemies that I
kno.v of to the independents : in the
south, but on tbe contrary may perhaps
give us justice. I have written a letter
to the President, expressing my inter
est ta yourself and three or four others.
It will be well to keep hii eye on Mr.

position to do me great, good with Die
mountain men and 1 rely on you confi
dently do so. Let me hear from you
frequently. As ever, ymir friend,

who turns out as good a man as Dr. Orr

colored men, vou who have the man

ypii see fit, what does this lette? prove
to yoq f .{t proves to.ysn. that Mr, Speer

Colored men, can you vote for a man
who insults you by expecting to buy all
of you by sugaring “Dear MAt.Y 1 '
Have the courage and manhood to
show by your votes that “Dear Mat”
does not carry all of your votes in his
pocket. The truth is, no one can trust
Mr. Speer. If necessary to success, lie
is false alike to friend and foe.
He intuits white men bv putting ne
groes into office, not from love of the ne
gro race, but for his love for three or
four, whom he thinks can control the
entire colored vote.
THE MACON LOAK ART EXHIBITION.
Afaeon Graphic.
Opens in the city of Macon, Gn„
Tuesdaynpeccjnber 5th, 188$iaud will
conti<Iuy lijr^tjln pbject of
theexhibltlon i*not one of pecuniary
profit, but Is for tlte purposo of stimu
lating our native genius, which in a
great measure 'remains dormant
through lackofencouragumentand cor
rect appreciation of > its own people
The benefits, of the exhibition are sim
ply immeasurable. Artin itself is an
education. The glory and prosperity
of a people is founded upon education
and raflnemept.Art, therefore, is a
benefit to the masses and should be
sought and cherished. The glories of
the Atlantacotton exposition caused a
new era to dawn upon the south which
is known os the era of mechanics and
manufacturers. The Art exhibition
must cause to dawn upon the south
another era ofortand refinement.
The management are perfectly con
scious of the foct that the premiums
offered offeredare insufficient,to reim
burse the artists for lalior and expen
diture entailed in,producing a work of
merit, hut the'management flatters it
self with the knowledge 6f the fact
that the moneyed premiums offered
are far more liberal than are usually
offered by art societies and will cer
tainly assist the amateur in meeting
the expenses necessary to place their
productions before an admiring pub
lic. The management feel confident
thattheglory of theempire state, and
the south, is too fondly cherished by
IU native genius for the enterprise to
be considered in the light of a money
making investment for the exhibitor,
Therefore an earnest co-operation is
confidently expected from the talent
of the south. Colleges and schools
will, beyond a doubt, be doubly benc-
fltted by JTftowing the people work of
their Instttfttious.
The exhibition will take place fit Ma
sonic building, a magnificent three
story structure, the property of tlie
grand lodge of Georgia. The building
is ample, commodious and safe, being
supplied with u fire-flag in ease of an
accident, and is located on the princi
pal street of the etty and Is convenient
to all the hotels.
The loan department promises to be
a truly grand attraction as many valu
able antique works of art and brac-a-
brac are already entered. Tlie premi-
umns in this department are ample to
repay all expenses of the exhibitor
who places the exhibit before tlie lover
of true art, and of those link* of histo
ry which connects the present with the
glorieo-of the past.
IttBUfonce has-been takenout on tfie
exhibits ta make security doubly se
cure to exhibitors; a thing wholly ua-
necesaary when the safety of the bidd
ing la considered. - ' :
Ctaly one thing is now needed to
make the Loon Art exhibition a per
fect success, and that is the co-opera
tion of railroads. If they will give a
reduction for the transportation of ex
hibits and reduced passage rates, the
results will be most flattering. Sure
ly tbe railroads will l)e liberal, for it
will be of much interest to them. The
exhibition is awakening great interest
all throughout Georgia, atiu if any fair
inducement is offered the people by
the railroads, exhibits will be largely
made by neighboring cities, and an
immense attendance will be present.

'Oh the 10th of December, 1881,
afn interview appeared iti the Cincin
nati Inquirer as follows:
i Washington, Dec. 10th, 1881.—“I
sliall never go into a democratic'oku-
cuaagaln, said representative Speer,
of Georgia, to-night. Last session one
, file leading democrats In the Geor
gia delegation accused me of being
recreant to my party fealty. That
will never be said again, becaustlshaU
never be bound by party fealty."
This interview has appeared In a
arge number of paper all ever the
country. It has beeu copied In every
paper fn this district. It has been
read and commented on by Col. Can
dler in every speech he has made in
this canvass. And never yet has Mr.
Speer denied <m< word of It. Read it,
ye true democrats who have beeu hon

swer us at the ballot box If you can
longer support a man who himself
tells you “he will never again be
bound by party fealty.” There is ope
thing as certain as there is a God above
us; All independents sooner or later
will Inevitably land in the republican
party. Stop, democrats, and consider
well before you longer follow the lead
of independent so-called democrats.

Commencing Sunday Oct. 8 the following
Passenger Schedule will operate on this road:
This .plibuomeaou is of.vary, rare oc
currence. ft can happen ouly twice in
a century because it Is only twice in that
time unv number of complete revolu
tions of Venn*, are just or n.arly equal
to a certain number of the earth's revo
lutions. The eartli passes her ascend
ing node in tho beginning of December,
and her descending node, in tlie begin
ning of June. Hence, the transit of
Venus, for ages to enrne, will happen in
December and June. The first transit
ever known to have been seen by any
human being, took place at tbe ascend
ing node, December4tli, 1339. it was
witnessed by Horrox, a young man
about 21 year* old, living in an obscure
village 15 mile* north of Liverpool,
England. If to this date tve
add “ 235 years, we shall have
tbe time of the next transit at the same
node, which happened in 1875. There
will be another at the same node in
December, 1882, eight years afterwards.
The coming transit is looked for with
great interest by astronomer* aud scien
tific-men, It is anticipated ar.d provid
ed for, and wifi be observed in every
inhabitable quarter,of the.globe, with
an intensity, of «qUcittide which •»> oth
