Lumpkin, Alsa Shackelford, and J. C. C. McMahon, of Oglethorpe. We learn that a little daughter of Mr. I.aw son, a workman at Jones’ tin shop, fell in tlie river near tlie upper bridge on yesterday and was drowned. The pui>ers apeak of Ariustroug's min strels as being one of tile best companies on the road. One ol them is a graduate of tlie University of Georgia. Of course all iheeoilege hoy* will turn out to wel come one ol their college mates. Policeman Pierson says lie did not say that Emory Speer was Iioton the comer inciting the negro riot, but that he did not Ilf him. Messrs. Evans, Bitch and Galloway, three responsible gentlemen of Alheus, did see him, however. The Gainesville Filth-Sliuger gays that Pledger will edit tlie Banner- Watchmatt until after the election. Pledger never Inis written a line for our columns. But Speer's Gainesville organ admitted that U.T. Fleming, a mulatto barber ol' Alli ens, was among its corps of corrcs|>oii- deiita. Tlie Atlanta Herald complains tlmt we won’t give it tlie name of the party who stated that one of its proprietors once edited a radical paper in Texas. If the editor of the Herald lias tlie courage to come out and give us a bond to chal lenge our informant lie shall have ids name. We dare you to do it!

He hud decided to return to the bar, but the attorneys of that circuit have induced him to take the Judgeship again. We presume bis election is sure. THKy ake Gathekino In.—The Athens boys are like chickens, they will come home to roost. First comes John Hughes, the next Is Dr. E. D. Newton, and we are on the lookout for Col. Brittain with his pack of dogs. Stkanoe, But True.—Athens is certainly on the improve, os the cnla boose did not receive a single boarder ou the day of the circus. This certain ly speaks well either for the police or tlie quality of the whisky sold in our city. Four Left.—Four of the circus men 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 for the parties.

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. Closely identified with Athens and her interests for upwards of half aceu- tury; prominent in the promotion of every good aud useful work; pure and blameless iu every relation of life; a leading elder in the Presbyterian church; the oldest and one of the ablest went hers of opr local bars a member a»d secretary of the Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia, for mauy years; a member of Die Ms* sonic fraternity, of the highest rank and greatest influence. In every po sition and relation of life, he bad tlie 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 seventy-seventh year two months 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 uotiee of this distinguished man. Resolution* of Respect. There was a called meeting of the Athens bar, held attiieolfiee of Col. S. P. Thurmond, this morning at 10 o’clock. - - - Judge Asa M. Jackson having been dulled to the chair, and T. S.

There was present the yeouiaafy—the bone and sinew of the country—and these are the men who shape the destinies of a coun try when they take the matter in liurnl. Col.

It was then discovered that tills build ing would not hold one-half the crowd prescut, aud so he had to speak from 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 (runt of bis stand. Amain the large audience we noticed a number of ladies who had seats upon tlie piazza, and Uieir encouraging smiles of approval doubt less did much to enthuse Die gallant or ator. _ r- ] We vfili not even attempt a synopsis of this speech, us we cannot do justice to Die subject. It Was a ringing appeal for good government, and he tore the rot ten, mongrel record of Mr. Speer into shreds—hut in language bo gentleman ly that had tlie private family of Mr. Speer bi-en present they could not have been offended. Tlie puny charges made against him were taken up and dissected one by one, and the malicious lies made transparent. During Die speech Bill Davis, son of “My lX-ar Mat,” Speer’s mulatto postmaster, frequently inter rupted tlie speaker wiDi Ids yells and jeers, to tlie disgust of all present.

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.

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.

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 huldathome.

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.

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: House ok Rkwussbntativbs, ) Washington, D. Gi—188- V Athbns, Oct. 8th, 1831. \ Hon.

The truth is, no one can trust Mr. Speer. If necessary to success, lie is false alike to friend and foe.

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.

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 estly supporting Mr. 8peer, and an 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.
