Ex.-Committee. TIME-WORN GAG. A HOARY A NO Last Tuesday the Constitution at tempted to perpetrate upon its inno cent and confiding readers a gag that was toothless and grey-headed when the stones that form the Pyra mids were little pebbles on the banks of the Nile: when the cedars of Lebanon, that constructed Solo mon's Temple, were but liding switches in their native wilderness; when the wite of lot was a school girl eating green apples and salt, instead of herself being a pillar ol that same seasoning. From time immemorial it lias been the custom with succeeding generations of poli ticians, (in the language of the Plumed Knight) to “claim everything" until the day ol the election, when it is too late to effect anything, and then, with a magnanimity characteristic of such great and impartial journals as the Constitution, to concede all to an opponent. Tne consequence is, it you are deleated, the consolation is still left of exclaiming, “Oh, I told you so!" if you win, what a glo rious and unexpected (?) surprise! This old gag had been so repeatedly- played in Georgia that it had worn as thin and gauzy .is a spider's web, and there is but iittle chance of its capturing any one not a fool, unless he was born since the last election. Yet, in the face of this fact, and in defiance, too, of the well-establish ed reputation of the Constitution tor progressive methods and verac ity, this great paper, with a confid ing confidence in the gullibility ol its patrons most child-like and bland—and with that same audacity that it would have cabled from “Pea Jay’s" sanctum a “special dispatch to the Constitution” from Egypt announcing the destruction ot Pha raoh and his hosts in the Red sea— after claiming—with an audacity that would have mantled the cheek of a brass monkey with a blush, not only every county that was to act last Tuesdcv, but every inch of vot ing territory in Georgia, Smith Car olina, Alabama, Florida and Louisi ana—"just bcfori the battle, moth er,’' came out in a most surprisingly magnanimous editorial giving to Major 1’acon every county that would act on that day. Any man with brains enough to tell him when to come in out of the rain, well k nows that Gordon and his backers had selected his strongest counties to test his strength in, and he further knew that a loss of them would leave the ltirg candidate nothing but a hasty retreat back to his New York office. Yet, in spite of this knowledge the Constitution “conceded" these counties to Ba con, and was so “surprised” when Gordon captured a few of his own strongholds, that it actually had to devote a half column of its valuable space to a display head glorifying over the event. The Constitution well knows that its candidate has no chance whatever of beinjj elect ed Governor ot Georgia, and he is only kept in the field with a hope of coming the minority dodge again on the people and thus defeating Major Bacon and the popular demo cratic will. So far from the Tues day's contest being a victory for Gordon, he lost one county, Ca toosa, that he had thoroughly work ed, and that directly belonged to Atlanta influence. Just wait until some big batch of counties in South ern, Middle or Northeast Georgia act, and the candidate of the At lanta ring will see exactly how he stands. We would like for the great journalistic prophet of At lanta to pen its predictions at least a week ahead, and not just on the heels of an election. There are some intelligent men who read the Constitution, and such stale jokes as that Tuesday’s prediction gripes and nauseates them—like the Hin kle letter, (01 instance. It seems that in Elbert county the Gordon nicr. want a “court house clique” to select delegates, while the Baconites insist on a primary. The Ring candidate and his suppor ters are adopting all manner of ends in their frantic ell'orts to break the Bacor. column—from holding too previous court house cliques in Lee to voting niggers in Fulton. We learn that Major R. L. Mc Whorter, at Greencshoro, read to a crowd of his friends a number ol letters that he had received from both Senator Brown anil the At lanta Constitution, all written in the interest of Gen. Gordon’s candidacy. This straw shows the direction that the political wind is blowing. The Constitution prates about a few republicans voting for Bacon in the Pickens county convention. We don't believe a word of it—(or so far as we can learn every old moss- back radical in Georgia is a dyed-in- the-wool Gordon man. Throw your political eyes around your county and sec if we are not correct. • * — _ Our esteemed correspondent from Greene seems very blue about car- rying that county for Bacon and Carlton.

The Hartwell son WlU Hot Gordon, aa was Inr un was, we bel journal in tb«i v state name of Hon. A. O. masthead as a candidate for the nomination for Governor of Geor gia. We did this because we be- THE NINTH GEORGIA REGIMENT. There has been a great deal of npty ttjlk in this ’campaign about ajor Bacon’s resigning the position all political obstacles and let “black I lieved that he was eminently qua)i- spirits and white, brown spirits and grey” mingle in political social equality around »Jts j primary ballot box, as will be the case in Fulton county. We would like to know if a white republican in Pickens is not just as much entitled to vote at a democratic meeting as is a black republican in Atlanta? The Constitution had better sweep before its own door before assum ing to itself a political dictatorship over other counties, spiked with ihsolcnt threats of not permitting their delegates to enter the conven tion. The Atlanta ring has so long ruled the politics of Georgia that the Constitution imagines it has the right to boss and dictate to the dem ocrats of the various counties as to who they shall let vote, how they must vote, and then, if they don’t select delegates lavoring Atlanta's candidate, that it has the right to close the doors of the convention hall against them. When a paper assumes to itself such dictatorial and despotic powers, we think it high time tor the free voters of Georgia to teach such self-elected bosses a salutary lesson, by taking them down a peg or two. The ar bitrary methods and utter unfair ness of the Constitution is made more apparent each day. When its own county, FuUon, decided to let the Atjanta negroes dictate to the white democrats of Georgia what candidate they must support lor Governor, the infamous scheme was endorsed; but when a report reaches Atlanta that a few white republicans voted in the Pickens meeting, this paper raises a great howl and intimates that the dele gates will not be allowed in the convention. One thing is certain —if Fulton’s nigger-chosen dele gates are given seats, there will be enough honest democrats in that body to see that the popular voice ot Pickens is not stifled, and don’t you forget it. The democrats in the various counties of Georgia are getting tired of this tiling of having their methods impugned and the most infamous insults and insinua tions directed at them for sim ply managing their own affairs as they see fit and proper, without first asking the gracious consent of the Constitution and the Atlanta ring. Had Clarke and Pickens counties chosen Gordon delegates, you would never have heard a word from eith er the Constitution or its imported candidate. To show the utter un fairness of the paper, did it not ap plaud in Lee exactly the same tac tics that it so bitterly denounced in Clarke? Is it not condemning in Pickens, an act that it is trying to repeat in Fulton? Oh, consistency, thy name ain’t the Atlanta Consti tution or Gen. John B. Gordon, either! The Constitution may be Atlanta, and from a political stand point, Atlanta may be the State of Georgia; hut there is one thing cer tain— the Ring is not and never will be dictators over the acts and.moti ves o( the democrats of Georgia. Just put this in your pipe, Mr. Constitu tion, and smoke it! BACON'S RECORD. The enemies of Major A. O. Bacon, although they have dragged even the gutters in their frantic search for campaign material, can not point to a single public or pri vate act On the part of this distin guished candidate in the slightest degree derogatory to his • character. Although he has gone through three heated and bitter campaigns, and his past life critically investi gated by enemies, his record to-day stands without spot or blem ish. Is there another man in Geor gia who could have submitted to such a test without finding some slight defect at which his oppo nents could point? There is not a more honest or incorruptible man in this union than Major Bacon, and if he is elected Governor, Geor gia will take and retain a place among the states of our Union that will make her every citizen swell with conscious pride. He is a man who has made a success of every thing he touched, and will give to the aflairs of Georgia the same cau tious eye and superior management that has characterized whatever he touches. It would indeed be a ca lamity to defeat such a man as A. O. Bacon just to gratify the hatred of a political ring in Atlanta who are conspiring to the overthrow of this gentleman because they cannot control him. fied tor the position by his'long training in the legislative council* of the state, and from the numerous endorsements he had received from press and people. - This was before General Gordon had announced himself a candidate. It waa not to be expected, therefore, that we should transfer our allegiance with out some very cogent reasons. When General Gordon delivered his eloquent and eflective speech in Hartwell on Thursday of last week, we were strongly impressed with the apparent candor and honesty of the man; and we then determined that if Major Bacon should, in his speech on Saturday following, at tack Gen. Gordon’s integrity ol pur pose in any of his public acts, with out positive proof to sustain his charges, we would transfer our support to General Gordon. This determination was not expressed as we intended it should be in our arti cle regarding Gen. Gordon’s speech last week. The forms were ready for the press on Thursday with just space for the short article alluded to, which was written hurriedly and without time for proper consid eration, just after the speech was made, and the paper hurried to pres*. When Major Baran began his speech on Saturday, he stated in positive terms that he had no charge to make against Gen. Gor don’s integrity of character, and by no word did he in his long and ad mirable address charge General Gordon with committing any pub lie act other than that of an honest man inspired with the purest mo tives, This left us free to decide upon what we regard as the real ques tions in the campaign—the qualifi cations and fitness ol the two men for the duties of the chief magistra cy of the state; and without hesita tion we speak but our honest con victions when we say, in our judg ment Major Bacon is unquestiona bly the best equipped man for the important and responsible position of governor of Georgia; and, there fore, we will cast our vote for Ba con delegates in the Hart county nominating convention on the first Tuesday in July next.—Hartwell Sun. of adjutant of the ninth Georgia reg- Bacon at the i ment an d returning to the commis sary’s post in Georgia during the jyar. . There never was anything in it; nobody believed it, and General Gordon, who made the point on the stump, probably never took the trouble to get the facts. There is a prominent citizen of Augusta who was a member of the ninth Georgia regiment and who crushed this empty scandal in a talk to the first ward Bacon, club Wed nesday night. Everybody who knows Mr. J. H. Alexander knows that he would detest cowardice as soon as he would silence slander. Mr. Alexander was a member of the ninth Georgia regiment; fought with it through the war. He knew Major Bacon then; knew him to be a faithful; courageous, honest sol dier, who followed his command, as did thousands of others, with pa tience and quiet devotion, until phy, sical prostration overcame him, and he retired on his surgeon’s advice, That was all that there was in the matter. Every one who knows Major Bacon knows that such i» his character, and such was his mistor- fortnne; every one %ho knows Mr. Alexander believes that these facts square with the record. * As for Major Bacon’s triends, the) can say to the people of this stale that he did kis duty in his humbler sphere along with the thousands i the army as thoroughly and as well as Gen. Gordon did his duty, and that even if strength and fortune had placed him in command, he would probably have something more than his warlike rec<Hd to go before the people upon in these times of peace.”—Augusta Chroni cle. WHAT WILL HE DO WfTn IT? Gen. Gordon ■* reported as say ing in a speech at Hartwell, that he was opposed to the “sale or lease” ol the state road. There is sea rcely any issue involved in this campaign mere important than the disposi tion of this valuable piece ot prop erty. It is the people's property and they are naturally curious as to the views concerning it, of the man who aspires to the highest office in the state. Does the General pro pose to run the road himself? Hi* record as a railroad man will scarce ly cause the thinking voters to re gard this proposition with much of favor. The history of all railroads owned and managed by states, is the roads become the took, of un scrupulous politicians, or are an Not even the friends ol the Ring ever rec,,rr ‘ n g source of trouble GORDON ASA BUSINESS MAN. GORDON AND FREE SCHOOLS. Our Oglethorpe correspondent of Wednesday calls attention to a nice point in Gen. Gordon’s Hart well speech, when he asserted that if elected Governor he would dis approve a bill selling or leasing the state road to any one. This is a fa tal stab at the tree school system of Georgia, for it will be remembered that half the rental of this road goes to educational purposes, and largely swells the appropriation for their support How does this strike the poor people of our state, who are dependent' upon the little three months’ free schooling for all the mental instruction that they can give their children? Gen. Gordon, while poising as the friend of the poor man; and i» trying to drt)w the soldier vote te him by reviving the memories of the late war, now actually proposes from the stamp tc rob them, by his veto, of the lit tle education that the state gives their children. The Atlanta ring no doubt would like for the voters to grow up in ignprapce, that ap- peals could be made to their preju dice instead of minds; but the wish will not be. granted. Major Bacon will be elected Governor,' "and the rental to free schools from the State road will hot be diverted. candidate assert that he is compe tent to be governor of Georgia from a business standpoint, while Gen. Gordon himself acknowledges from the stump that Major Bacon would make a most superior executive. Now, can the tax-payers of Georgia afford to place in entire control of the intricate business aflairs of Georgia a man who has proven «uch a dis astrous failure as a financier as has Gen. Gordon? Why, it would be the greatest piece of folly imagin able, forjudging from the past rec ord of Atlanta’s candidate, in less than twelve months Georgia would be hopelessly bankrupt. Now, if the people choose to honor Gen. Gordon further, all well and good; but do not let us imperil our credit, and run the almost certain risk of ruination to the business affairs of our state, by placing at the helm a man who has proved himself such an utter and continuous failure as a financier as has Gen. Gordon. He is the last man in the world to make Governor, and if the people elect him, they will repent in sackcloth and ashes, and that beiore many months elapse, too. Elberton Gazette: The people of Franklin county invited Hon. P. W. Davis to meet Gen. Gordon at Carnesville on Thursday last, for the purpose of discussing the issues involved in the gubernatorial cam- paign, but when waited on by a committee of citizens for the pur pose of asking the general to divide time with Mr. Davis, the general declined to do so. The Constitution copied a little paragraph on Dr. Felton from the Banner-Watchman of two days ago and published yesterday as a spe cial dispatch from Athens, so as to give the harmless squib more force. The telegraph that carried that dis patch costs only one cent a pound for messages. Elberton Gazette: Deputy U. S. Marshal Yancey CarterJ is decided ly the most enthusiastic Gordon man we have yet seen. He seems to lead the Gordon boom in Hart county. In fact, we are told that Marshal Nelms and all his deputies are en thusiastic Gordon men. Why is this thus? and contention to the people and of expense to the goveinment. The only remaining alternative is to let the road stand unsold, unleased and unrun, and it will require but a very short time to reduce it to the condi tion so epigram matically described ESCAPED WITH THEIB SCALPS, Vm and Cfurler. For several days past a number of colored men wearing the uniform of the United States army have been teen upon the streets of Charleston. Their presence caus ed no litile surprise and gave rise to ppned a recruiting office here. There was an. air about' the colored’ troops, however, that precluded the iota of their being recruit* v On the contrary'they look more like veterans, and such they proved to be. Richard Rivers, one of the num ber, was buttonholed by a reporter yesterday and from him it was learned that these were the recruits who enlisted in Charleston in 1S51, and who, having completed term of service of five years, accepted their discharge and re turned home. Rivers served in 24m United States infantry, and has been at Fort Sill, Indian Terri tory, most of the time. “Did you ever meet the redskins in hostile array?”inquired the re porter. “No, sir,” answered the veteran, “we never had a fight. When there was fighting to be done the cavalry mostly did it.” “Had a good time?” , “Well, I can’t complain. Times were good enough as times go. We didn’t have mullet and watermelon for dinner every day. but we man aged to get along. Only one of the Charleston recruits that I know of died. His name was Benjamin Brown. He took sick and died in the hospital.” “Not on the battlefield?” “No, sir, hain’t 1 told yeu that we didn’t have no fighting to do? We couldn’t fight the Indians without horses.” “Have all the ChartestoD men re turned?” “Yes, about all as I knows of. Their names? Well Bryan Gibbs, Aleck Bennett, Solomon Frazer and others. I don’t recall their names, but they have about all come home.” “Have you saved any money out ®f your pay?” ‘‘No, 1 can’t say that I have. “Ob, yes, I suppose seme ef the boys did; they could if they want ed, but I didn't care about saving anything.” Private Ri rivate Rivers, late of G Com pany 24th United States Infantry, became tired of the interviewing process and proceeded down King street swinging a light cane and “doing the grand act on the boule vard,” as the dudes say. RUINS OfTTuaYNOPA. A Sonora Prospector Thinks he has Found The Ancient nines. Louis Proto, a French American black smith, miner, and prospector, believes he has discovered the|mines and ruins ot ancient Guaynopy, for which men have risked and many have lost their lives in the Sierra Madre mountains during the past 120 years. Proto from La Trinidad, Senoro some time in July, struck out along into the high Sierras from which he returned only last month loaded down with the richest gold and silver ores ever seem in that region. He says that while wander- ingin the mountains with no com panion but a pack mule, he came up to a solitary Indian, of what tribe he was unable to learn, but believes him to be an Apache.

Proto cleared the debris trom one of the old tunnels, got into the ore in place and found it to be abundant and very rich, the “pay streak” being about six feet in thickness and nearly pure metal, a combination of gray copper and sulphuret of silver known by the Mexican name ol "petlanque”and to the scientific world as fathle/s. This ore is said to yield about 71 per cent in silver. This pay streak represents only about one-third the width of the vein, which Proto thinks will yield from Soo to 2,000 ounces to the ton from wall to wall. He also claims to have discovered some rich gold-bearing veins of good size in the same vicinity, as well as valuable placers. Guaynopa of history has been seen by civilized men but once be fore (if this indeed be Guaynope) since the Spanish residents ot the place were massacred by the Ap aches, more thetl 200 years ago. The tuins of the place indicated that the buildings were once populated by- 1,200 or 15,000 people. The Apaches resolved to distroy it as it was in the heart ol their country,and endangered them while returning from raids against the grazing, agri cultural and mining settlements fur ther south and west. They collected in the vicinity a large force of war riors, and when a bullion train start ed lor the city of Mexico they fell upon and massacred the party, and then made a descent in force upon the town and destroyed the last of the inhabitants. If Louis Proto has made the dis covery he claims there will be such a rush to the Sierra Madre as will trample the last Apache into the eaith—for Guaynopa is right in the very centre of their famous mountain fastnesses, and tht venturous.

He participated in the Decoration Day exercises, act ing with the old guard as an escort to President Cleveland. Gordon made a failure when he applied for admission to the bar, ind yet claims to be a smart man. We think that just at this time ia the history of Georgia railroads, that the state needs a good railroad lawyer in the governor’s chair. Gen. Gordon will have t6 get the legislature to increase his salary make a special appropriation to feed his invited guests after he gets to be governor. He is inviting a big crowd but the invitations will never be accepted. Bacon’s prospects in Morgan are brightening each day, and his friends now claim a decided major ity. Gordon will probably carry Greene, unless Bacon’s friends get to work. Authentic information trom Mor gan county states that it will cer tainly send Carlton delegates; but Bacon's friends must bestir them selves if they triumph. The Clarke county meeting has been offset by the Gordon club of Atlanta. Clarke didn’t have to con script a chairman, either. The hospital rat is putting in good work for Gordon. The old soldiers who bore the brunt are for Bacon. The latest news from Green is that they are swapping off Carlton votes for Gordon votes.

New York Sun, The most interesting conditions laid down in behalf of any set of strikers are those which we find in the Indianapolis Sentinel pro pounded by a lot of schoolboys in spired with an ardent desire for reform im the methods of public ed ucation: I. A reduction of the hours of study. 3. An increase ot the periods of recess. 3. Noon to begin at 11 o’clock and extend to 1:30 or 2,according to the condition of the weather. 4. School shall let out any after noon when there is a base ball match ora circus within fifteen miles. 5. Any scholar who wants a “re ward of merit” to carry home to his parents can have it at wholesaie.or cost price. 6. Ferrules to be made of soft wood. 7. The old-time custom of punish ing boys by compelling them to sit with the girls shall be immediately restored. 8. A boy who holds up his right hand and says, “Please, sir may I go out?” shall be allowed to go, whether it be necessary or not. 9. The number of boys allow ed to go and fetch a pail of water shall be increased from two to four, with proper allowance for time consumed in going and coming. to. No boy shall be punished for offensive words spoken in debate with another boy. II. While believing in arbitration on general principles, we insist that two boys who have a grudge to settle shall be allowed to fight it out between themselves. No teacher need apply a whip on account of it. 12. A boy t»tiw tells on anotner boy shall be boycotted. 13. No boy shall be kept in the school except at his own request, as when another boy islyingin wait to lick him. The exception to the principal ot arbitration laid down in the eleventh article is we think,to be commended and we judge that people generally will agree that this school boys’ strike is quite as sound as many of those that have made a great stir in the world of late. AN ACTUAL TRAGEDY. Flames on a Dylnc Mother Smothered by a Babe's Embrace. Deieret News. For some time past Mr. and Mrs. Stramann have resided in Denver, Col. Last December Mrs. Stra- mann’s father was so badly beaten by a burglar that he died shqrtl) af terward, and within a month' his wife died of grief. These sad oc currences had a serious effect upon the mind ot Mrs. Stramann, who has acted strangely ever since and during the past week or two has show* many evidences of insanity. She was about 27 years ot age and has a little girl 6 years old. One morning Mr. Stramann got up early and went to the stable to feed his horse. When he got through he started back to the house, and when on the way beard three shots in rapid succession. Fearing that something had happened, he start ed on a run for his bed rootp, where he han left his wife and child sleep ing. As he entered he saw that his wife lay dead on the bed, a pistol clutched in her left hand, and their child clasping the corpse of its mother in its arms and crying, “Mamma has killed herself!" Mr. Stramann ran out of the house shrieking. Neighbors who had beard the shots and been attracted by Mr/Stramann’s cries went to his house and crowded into the bedroom. They found the little girl still clasping her mother’s life less form, and it was with difficulty that they could take her away. It was found that her night dress had been set afire by the flash of the powder from the pistol. It was smothered by the close embrace in which she held her mother. There is a scarcity of bread in Buffalo, N. Y., owing to the baker’s strike. “You are the man who climbed up the rope to my window,” shout ed the woman, pointing her finger at officer Getchell. There were two bedsinthe room, the couple having registered the night beiore as father and daughter. A search of the room revealed a quantity of cocaine and a hvpoder mic syringe. The woman attempt ed to swallow a dose of the dtug ahd to inject some into his arm, but c ,C E>^o C * r restra ‘ ne d him until Dr. S. F. Stagg, who had been sum moned, arrived. Then it was learn ed that the man was A. S. Hazen, a -n ,e *i> CnOWn P h V sicia n of Sharps- vine. Pa. About a year ago he be gan to experiment on himself by taking hypodermic injections of cocoaine, and soon he became a victim to the habit, taking sometimes as much as . forty grains per day. Experimenting with his daughter also, he has made of her as great a slave to the habit as himself. A search revealed Dr. Hazen’s diploma as a physician, a case of surgical instruments worth probably $JO°, a full doctor’s kit, and $9.75. Miss Hazen asserted that when they arrived in Elmira on Saturday night, they had $125, but that a man had come into her room at the hotel and pulled her out from under her bed, where she had crawled to escape his notice, and robbed them. The doc tor reiterated the tale, complaining of the disappearance of a $100 bill. Their story, however, is thought to be purely imagination. The pair were removed with much difficulty to the city hospital, their supply of cocaine was taken from them and diluted, and decreasing doses were given to them at lengthening inter vals. The man presented the appear- ance of one suffering acutely from delirium tremens, apparently un dergoing all the tortures ot the damned. He could not lie still a moment, constantly shifting his po sition jumping from his bed and muttering to himself. He declared he would commit suicide at the first opportunity. His arms are covered with the marks of the syringe, and his face is badly burned or cut in spots, caused, be says, by an explo sion while experimenting with chemicals. He is about 45 years of age, fight complexion and sandy moustache, and weighs about 135 pounds. The daughter appears as old as the^ather, although she says that she is only 19 years of age. She is rather tall and exceedingly spare. Five weeks ago, she says, she was plump and hearty, and she declares that cocaine has reduced her flesh. She seems devotedly at tached to her father, and talks oc casionally to him, consoling him with the assertion that he has had lots of trouble, and that he began to take the drug to drown sorrow. At 10 o'clock Miss Hazen fell in to a stupor, from which two physi cians failed to arouse her. Finally, at the direction of Dr. Hazen, who declared that it was the only way ner life, ia-ge injections of cocaine were administered and she revived, becamfc perfectly rational and ate a hearty dinner. Hazen himself had continued in about _ half crazy state on a limited supply of the drug. He asserted that he could not proceed on his journey unless he was given his accustomed dose, and finally it was thought best to allow him to have it. Shortly afterward he arose and dressefi himself, and will proceed on his journey as soon as he receives mon ey from his brother at Sharpsville.
