GANTT, Editor &*Prop’r ‘Gov. McDaniel will doubtless do his duty and order an investigation into the charges against John W. Nelms. Editor Johnson didn’t leave a greasy spot of the great bull dozer. The outlook for ^democratic suc cess has brightened up considerably of late, while the republican party seems on the down-grade. A tar- itf-for-revcnuc-only platform will win the day. We received a letter yesterday Irom Col. R. C. Humber, authoriz ing the announcement to be made that he will be a candidate for State Treasurer at the approaching democratic convention. There seems to be a lull at pres ent in the temperance boom in Georgia.. It is only a question of time when prohibition will prevail from the mountains to the seaboard, and in ten years congress will pass a law regulating the trade. It is now predicted that the whis ky men of the West will go almost solidly against the republicans, which will carry several doubtful western states for the democrats. They are enraged because an ex tension was not granted them. The penitentiary system of Geor gia needs a thorough overhauling, and we trust that our next legisla ture will take the matter in hand. Capt. Nelms seems to aspire to be tlie Bismarck of Georgia in his at tempt to suppress the frecdohi of the press. We sec that our esteemed friend Mr. Arthur Haire, is mentioned in connection with county treasurer of Oglethorpe. If the people had the world to select from they could not find a better or more honest man. We would like to see him Treas urer of the United States, for then we could know that the last nickel would be accounted for. At the Havana explosion 21 me were killed aud.79 Wounded. A negro murderer hung himself in tha jail at Cincinnati. Jaimes R. Keene, the stock spec ulator, of New York, has failed. The charred skeleton of a negro was found in' an old - stump near Eatonton, Ga. Two sons in Iowa killed a father for too much intimacy with his own daughter. The three West Virginia murder- The' idea's! racy, with their meaningless coats- bf*arm9-fmd h»ng.winded pedigrees^ is antagonistic to the very spirit of our republican government, and any Ameiican family attempting such, a display deserves to be held up to the ridjcq|c: of ajl free-born people. Under out government, eveiy man is expected to be the architect of his own destiny, and he is honored ami respected only as his merits or talent warrant This thing of hon- *V* Vc ^ en aiu * oring a man and putting him above The statement is now made, upon what is said to be unquestionable authority, that under no circum stances will Mr. Tilden accept the nomination or undertake the can vass. If it is necessary, a letter lrom him to this effect will be pre sented to the New York democratic state convention when it assembles, effectually and finally settling the matter. If this be true, we must say that Mr. Tilden has acted in bad faith to his party by not taking this decided step long ago. “Luke Smith says that the democ racy of Clarke county placed ne groes on the jury and a negro in the post-office. What does the Banner- Watchman say to this?”—Walton News. If Mr. Luke Smith considers Emory Speer and Chester A. Ar thur “the democracy of Clarke county,” he is overwhelmingly cor rect. The appointment of a negro postmaster in Athens was apolitical move made by the late lamented Independent party to consolidate the colored vote; Happily, how ever, “My Dear Matt” was. the stick used to cane our Emory from the district. We never saw so little political excitement in Athens. This is just as it should be, and any man who endeavors to raise an issue should be severely “sat down upon.” The editor of the Elberton New South has nothing to say against Judge Pottle’s ability, but that His Honor is very unpopular he will not deny. We should blush to murmur. From the present outlook, we are inclined to the opinion that both Blaine and Arthur will be counted out and a dark republican horse put upon the track. Things are badly mixed in the radical camp, and their bright hopes .of a few weeks ago are waning. It is now said that Dr. Felton has an eye on the Gubernatorial chair of Georgia. The old Doctor is the deadest duck in the independent mud-puddle, and the sooner he re alizes the fact the better for his peace of mind. Cincinnati cannot be accused of having absolutely the worst juries in the country, after all. Frank James, the bandit, goes from one trial to another, only to be acquitted The best way to settle this mur derer’s case is for some vigilant committee to take him in hand. Mahone once proclaimed himself a better democrat than Ben Hill, but he was then smarting under Hill’s castigation. Mahone now de clares himself a better republican than Blaine and is pulling for Ar thur’s nomination for President. We believe “Our Emory” made a similar declaration during the late campaign in the 9th district Four thousand Arabs at Port Said, says the cable, were rendered homeless by the recent fire. The extentof their loss can only be esti mated when we consider that an Arab’a home usually consists of a tent composed of about forty square yards of canvas and a lot of clothes K line. Their .furniture corresponds to.the elegance of the structure. !',t' Jtf Atlanta wishes to purchase Liberty Hall andjmove the old rook- •ey to that city, we say by oil means let her do so.

A young boy was drowned while bathing in the river near Acworth. Two robbers were lynched in a most systematic manner near St. Albans, W. Va. Several thousand dollars were raised for the Confederate soldiers’ home by a concert in New York.

She will receive in future $25 month. per In the conventions which acted Thursday, James G. Blaine contin ued to be the favorite, although some votes were gained for the other candidates. The Michigan Green- backers instructed their delegates to vote for Butler for president. Serious uneasiness Is shown the laboring world. Strikes arc re ported from many points, showing that operatives are dissatisfied with their wages. On the other hand the employers seem to be uuite wil ling to shut down, showing a dull state of business. Charlotte, May 1.—II.

Jlaam Telegraph, Atlanta, April 30.—Mr. Walter R. Brown,of this city,relates an inci dent which reflects no credit.on the Richmond and Danville railroad, and is of some interest to the public, and especially to ladies who have occasion to travel over that road. At the depot in Atlanta, on Sat urday, four negroes, three men and one woman, decidedly African, seated themselves in the ladies’ coach of the regular Air-Line pas senger train, although there was a forward car set apart for people of that color. Of this the'conductor was notified before the train left the depot, and he promised to move them to their own car. After the train started his attention was again called to the matter, and he ap proached the darkies and in gentle tones asked them if they would not go into the forward car. They would not. They remained in the coach, made free of its privileges and con veniences to the exclusion in some instances of other passengers, and to the annoyance and disgust of all. There were a number of ladies and ? ;entlemen in the car, some of- them rom other states, and the negroes were so objectionable in their gen- eral appearance, in the manner in which they deported themselves, and in the air of insolence they as sumed, that there was a general pro test made to the conductor, who said that he could do nothing fur ther, and refused to remove them into their own caT. As a conse quence several passengers left the car in disgust. The conductor caipe through the cflr taking up tickets. He punched the tickets of the ne groes without a word. When he came to Mr. Brown that gentleman produced a ticket entitling him to a first class fare, and ‘informed the conductor that he would surrender the ticket when the road complied with its contract to giv? him first class fare—either put him Into a car where there weYe no negroes, ol re move the negroes from the ladies’ coach. Other passengers very heartily approved this stand taken by Mr. Brown, and expressed a re gret that they had given up their tickets. The conductor replied that he would give the gentleman to the next station, when he rtiust eitfier thd him'. oupg this time the negroes lobked l ftoUdlypud innocently.

Let England have ' her ho- bility and' entailed greatness, but in America, the land of the free, it lies within the powerof every citizen to be a nobleman in his oWn right. If there is anything we do detest it is shoddy aristocracy, in which insti tution we seem to have a corner. You will find them In- nearly every city and town. By tramping over the country with ;a pack on his back, or some lufcky streak of spec ulation, plain John Smith acquires a fortune. He is thus enabled to give his children far better advantages than their parents could enjoy, and they arc consequently passed through the crucible of refinement and turned loose upon the country and labelled “blue blood.” We have no objection to thus refining the human race, but when these same descendants from the lucky peddler, or blacksmith, or specula tor, set themselves up as aristocra cy, and begin to frown down upon people who two generations ago would not have received them in their parlors, then we say let us cry a halt and wipe out the name “aris tocracy” from the American vocab ulary. This shoddy aristocracy de ceive ho one but themselves. Their neighbors know just how their an cestors began life, and all the lip worship they receive is that hom age that all men delight to pay to the Almighty dollar. Now we believe there is as much in the blood of men as there is in the pedigree of horses, and you can’t make a thor oughbred of a scrub, it matters not how heavily you load his pockets with the jingling gold. He may try to disguise it, but the old stock will occasionally pop out until the blood is purified by intermarriage with inborn refinement. We be lieve that some people are thieves at birth, and it is handed down from generation to generation. Wc know to-day a so-called aristocratic and respectable family in a distant state that will steal when a good op portunity is afforded. It is inherent with their nature, and cannot be resisted. The same way With liars and other per sonal characteristics. But speak ing of American aristocracy, we have very little, if any, of the simon- pure article on this continent. These characters expect to make capital of their family name, and find such securities far below par in our country.. We may have a few descendants from degenerate sons of European nobility, who made our land a sort of Botany Bay when it got too hot for them at home, biit by an investigation into their -past life the offspring will find nothing to be particularly vain of. The truth is, the wheel of for tune is constantly revolving in America, and first one family and then another is thrown on top. The ins are labelled “shoddy,” and the outs “broken-down aristocracy.” For a generation or two the former undergo polishing . touches, while the latter, after a vain struggle to keep up appearances, eventually degenerate into “poor trash.” But perhaps at the next revolution the tables arc again turned, and the bottom rail is returned to its place. Hence, we say,'it is not advisable for any American family to invest in this blue blood bloom, for if some inquisitive antiquarian should chance to raniack the past, who knows but what he may run up on a cross-beam and a dangling rope or bump his head against the walls of some penitentiary? Just because you are blessed with a richer store of woi Idly goods than your poverty- stricken neighbor, this is no reason that you should tilt your head in the air while passing him. First care fully examine that inheritance and see how many dirty shillings there are among it. See if some of it don’t represent the proceeds of the sale of a paper of pins or a drink of mean Whisky? Let us stop this cry of “blue blood,” that is now started in Geoigia, and fall back upon the good old American plan of honoring a man as his ability and deportment merits, whether he be the son of an honest blacksmith or a Governor or Congressman. A fine coat does not always cover an honest heart, or a soft hand betoken an unbroken lineage from toil. Let we Amer ican people cultivate the good that is within us, and endeavor to eradi cate the bad.''
