OFFICIAL ORGAN OF COUNTY AND CITY • UBSCRIPnON.IlSOPER YEAR IN ADVANCE. LilQEST OELUUtlOl H IDHHfiu! BEORBU. T. L. GANTT, Editor & Prop’r TELEGRAPIC SPARKS. Richmond has had a $90,000 fire. The National Capitol has cost over $400,000,000. _ Shad are being caught in the river at Augusta. ‘ A Philadelphia man has suffocat ed by a tumor on his neck. inheriting office. There is a crov. d of state officers around Atlanta, who seem to look upon public positions as their legit imate prey, and if an outsider as pires to displace them he is held as an interloper. When one of their number dies or resigns, the next ‘in line of promotion demands his shoes with all the cheek of entailed royalty. In fact these characters seem to think think that the state government is only kept together by their influence, and that they have a hereditary right and title to all the offices and pap. Now we think it is high time for a change and let some of the other people of Georgia have a showing. Most of our state officers have drawn their full quota from the public till, and we would like to see an entirely new deal made by .the next state convention that meets in Atlanta. There is always some one who will do the Work just as well as the man in charge, and then, again, it is a mighty true adage about the new. broom sweeping clean. It is a good plan to have a general overhaul ing of business every few years, and the only and best waj to thoroughly accomplish this end is to turn all the books and papers over to new hands. A man who feels that he has a life lease on an office naturally grows careless, and does not exer cise that same caution as did he know that his accounts must soon be submitted to the critical eye of some one else. We do not intend to in sinuate that any of our state officials are capable of dishonesty, for such is far from our mind; but we do know that it is human nature to slight and neglect work when man is held amenable to no one but his own conscience and the hasty glance of a legislative committee. Besides, the spirit of our republican government is antagonistic to con tinuous power as vested in one set of men. Opposition to a third term is what defeated Gen. Grant in the Chicago convention in 1876, and the same rule will apply with equal force to state officers. We have al ways been opposed to one set of men running the government, for in it lies the greatest danger to our republican institutions. Our public offices belong to the people, and they should be distributed as equita bly over the state as capacity and fitness will warrant. There is too much tendency in Georgia toward making state offices a sort of hospi tal for broken down politicians and their kindred. If such a character cannot be provided for, a new posi tion is created for his especial.behoof and benefit. As a consequence, our state government has grown to be a most expensive burthen on the tax payers. Every succeeding legisla ture creates new departments, clerk ships or commissions, to be support ed from the public treasury. The people are wearying of this burthen and imposition, and demand a revo lutionizing change. Then there is another plea of need and charity set up when some fellow wants a post tion, and from many of the whines forwarded to headquarters you would think the Capitol of Georgia a bureau for the distribution of funds to the indigent and deserving poo. - . In the selection of an officer such pleas should have no weight' whatever. The only question to be considered is the applicant’s fitness for the place. For charity he must look somewhere else than to the state government. Such appeals should not have a feather’s weight with the powers that have the dis pensation of public office. In fact, when a man falls back for support upon some other plea than capacity, it is a pretty sure index that he is not worthy to fill the position he asks. Let the people, when they again elect delegates to represent them in a nominating convention, send men whoVill choose the best and most competent officers,irrespec tive of whether they is in the line of political or hereditary succession or or not. Let the great people of Georgia, and not a few men, shape this business. How would Atticus G. Haygood and Sergeant Bates do for the na tional republican standard-bearers, The prices of nice fresh colored corpses in Ohio do not rule very high—from $15 to $33 each. Then it is often necessary, too, to manu facture “stiffs" to order. When the republican party has to pick up such broken-down old tramps as Sergeant Bates for a cam paign orator that organization must certainly be on its last legs. If there is any truth in the doc trine of evolution, the future resi dents of the Ohio valley will have web feet—Chicago Times. Yes, and all the bodies will be born ready-made “stifls.” Dr. Haygood and his pet hobby, 1 negro education, both seem to have been swept away by the late cy clone. By the way, Bishop Pierce and the amalgamating Doctor don’t seem to tally on this question. Another cyclone is predicted for next November. Political proph ets say it will sweep the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific and leave the republican party a total wreck. .

C., February 27.— The latest advices from Cheraw, are to the effect that W. B. Cash has eluded the vigilance of those who were watching his father’s house, and has escaped, it is thought, into North Carolina. Town Marshal Richards is still living, but his lower extremities are paralyzed, and his death is hourly expected. James Coward is also in a critical condition to-night, and his physicians enter tain very little hope of his recovery. It is rumored to-night that the gov ernor will issue a proclamation to morrow offering a large reward for the apprehension of Cash. Omaha, Neb., February 28.— The boys killed by the explosion of the powder magazine yesterday were Charles Madsen, aged 17 Wm. Abney, 17; Wm. Mallus, 12, and John Still, 10. The magazine was owned by Steeles Johnson two and a half miles south of the city. The shock was severely felt all ov er the town and the fire department was called out. Buildings halt a mile from the magazine had their windows shattered and doors split in two. Trees were leveled and torn as if raked with grape and can ister and the branches hung heavy with a fruit of human flesh—one head being taken from a limb thir ty feet high. There is a difference of opinion as to the cause of the ex plosion. The loss is not much be yond the value of the powder and the humon lives. _ The stock law will go in opera tion in Talbot county to-day. The work of building the Albany ice factory is begun.

The Sylvania Telephone says that Mr. John Goss and Miss Mary Poythess were married on last Mon day night.

Newnan Herald: In many in stances shingles and small pieces of timber were found driven from one to two inches into trees, having been blown a mile or more from the scene of destruction. There was a bit of fight on Tues day night in the rotunda of the Markham house, Atlanta, between Hon. G. J. Wright, late Judge of the Albany circuit, and Hon. R. N. Ely, late attorney general.

A society of wealthy young Ger mans in Boston, calling themselves the Jerusalem Club, have obtained considerable notoriety by eating dinner one day recently, at which the leading delicacy was dog’s meat, They are to have another banquet, and beer and puppy steak are a part of the bill of fare.

The New York Herald gets up an interesting table of election sta tistics: i It-is curious how closely the “sol id North” matches the -‘Solid South” so much talLed of. Six teen southern states make up the sold South and sixteen northern states make up the solid north, the six remaining northern states make up the real doubtable ground. The sixteen Southern states counted as the solid South cast 153 electoral votes; the sixteen Northern states which form the solid North cast 153 electoral votes. The following table ranges the members of the two opposite sections in opposite columns: Solid South Arkansas... Delaware... Kentucky.. North Carolina. South Carolina.. Tennessee.. Texas Solid North. ...10 Colorado ..3 ..

Of there so-called uncertain states, cast- ing 93 electoral votes which seem to stand between the solid North and the solid South, California, Neva da and New Jersey were carried by the democrats in :88o; Indiana, New York and Ohio went republi can in that year. New York and Indiana were carried by the demo crats in 1S76. Ohio has gone re publican at all recent Presidential elections. 1 . In 1SS0 California gave Hancock a plurality of only 78 votes, there being three tickets in the field. Ne vada gave him a majority of 879. New Jersey, where also there were three tickets, gave Hancock a plu rality of 2,010 yotes. Indiana gave Hancock a plurality of 6,350 votes. In New York he had a majority of 6,483 votes over all, and In Ohio a majority over all of 35^9. V Of these so-called doubtful states the democrats do not expect to cany Ohio next fall. They see that theur party, is too badly broken to 'pieces on the tariff question in that state to —ve'them any hope there, even if iey should go so far as to nominate nOhio man, which nobody here / doi \ of; influence in the party of doing. From somefof those who saw the cyclone as it passed near here, says the Charlotte News and Observer, we have gathered some important and interesting points. We make out that it traveled one hundred and twenty miles an hour. Its corn sc was northeast It struck Matthews’ at 10:55 o’clock, and exactly at 11 was at Banks’ ten miles distant It was a fearful black cloud, resembling chaos, moving with the velocity of a .? n ! 10n ball, accompanied bv ter rific displays of electricity, ancl fol lowed immediately by rain and hail. The path was generally 200 yards wide, but the chief destruction was confined within a breadth one-third that width. For ten miles it cours ed along the ground between the points mentioned; how much fur ther it proceeded before rising we have not yet heard. AN OLDCONFED. _ A skeleton of a Confederate sol dier has just been unearthed two miles from Atlanta, beside the new Flat Shoals road No portion of the uniform could be found, neither had any brass buttons stood the bat tle with rust. Parts ot the shoes remained, also shirt buttons. The shoes were the heavy brogan pat tern used by the Confederate troops during the last years of the war, while the buttons were quickly rec ognized as the Confederate “rice button.” While the bones were be ing removed a minnie ball fell from what had once been the man’s chest, and this is supposed to have been the missile which produced death. It was removed with the body. Af ter the bones had all been exhumed they were laid together and Coro ner Hilbuin viewed them. The coroner had been a Confederate sol- dier himself, and recognized the but tons and shoes r s Confederate goods. He caused the bones to be taken to Mr. Calhorn’s house, where they will be kept until the Ladies’ Memo rial Association sees fit to have them buried. At the point where the grave was a new road has recently been opened, and in making the road the workmen removed nearly all the dirt, leavitig the dead sol dier’s covering so thin that the bones were brought to view.

A gentleman who lives near Hepzibah, sajs that a mer chant’s day book and a post-office book were picked up near this place which were blown from Da- visboro, fifty-two miles distant, and an account was picked up which evidently came trom Sandcrsville, Washington county, a much great er distance.

I have been gathering up instan ces of funny verdicts for several years. In my memorandum book I find the following verdict in a case where a man died in a state of in toxication: “Death by hanging— round a rum shop.” An Indiana jury recently return ed a written verdietjof “Blode topie- ces by the bilfer bustin.” “Jury,” said a Western Judge, “you kin go out and find a verdict. If you can’t find one of your own, get the one the last jury used.” The jury returned with a verdict of “suicide in the ninth de gree.” A Rhode Island jury was five days debating on a long case involv ing a worth $7, and then came in, found the hog not guilty, and rec ommended both plaintiff and de fendant to the mercy of the court.
