The latter cannot i,. violate for the puddlers of 1 ennsylva- nia and the planters of Georgia. That statesman /perfect^ willing that the surplus in the national treasury should l,e reduced and the people relieved. We „re ull united upon that point. N ? w “ , wavs and means, the Kandall wing of ,| 10 partv declare that the reduction not commence at their end of the lisi Their iron and steel must bo pro le,-to.! at all hazards; the Ohio jobber „avs liis wool must not he left free of v an ,l so a rock-ribbed wall of pro- | S |,uilt about the Northern and I Astern manufactures, while the South ern and Western farmer continues to pay the In -h prices which the duties on for- nnpJrts enable the fabric maker to maintain. Meantime, the people are clamoring for a reduction of the surplus and<>f the tax. "Nothing simpler,” says Mr. Kandall. “We will take the inter nal tax from whisky and tobacco, and as the government is obliged to have a cer tain aumunl of revenue, our customs tax must be maintained.'’ This, then, is the real reason why the protectionists arc so anxious to havb the internal revenue Now the question is, do the people w ish the tax lifted from whisky and .to bacco, or from clothes and tools and household, kitchen and farm utensils? Shall it be free whisky or cheap com modities for family use? The ItAxxEii-Watchman has already railed attention to the effect of a total repeal of tax upon whisky. It gives free license to distilling and to liquor traffic. It leaves upon the State the en tire burden of controlling or suppressing the sale. If the government with its large outlay of money and “horde of of- lirers" cannot entirely keep down the boiling and bartering of liquor, liow can the Slate do it alone and uraided? Pro hibition would be impossible in any county and even the collection of county or city license would in a large roeasjra lie forfeited. The Constitution’s argu ment is that if the government ceases to license the traffic, the whisky business will be smaller in volume when this tax is taken off, This is utterly absurd. If men now risk the danger of arrest and line to rater to the liquor drinking cle ment, w hat will they do when all restric tions are thrown away? The Constitu tion says: “In Georgia, the temperance counties are powerless to control distil leries licensed by the United States gov ernment under the revenue laws, and the manufacture and sale of whisky goes oil uninterruptedly." This may be true, ltut abolish the revenue tax and where one distillery now runs, there will be ten illicit worms, purging them selves of hoirible drippings—all to be run down and spied out by the sheriff of the county. The one thing that keeps such trallic in check to-day is the rigid system of revenue policy; if with all this power at work, the making of liquor still carried on, we cannot expect it to cease when tile national tax is taken away entirely. T be Co '..million has made a wonder ful argument. If the Constitution's rea- son is sound, we must confess we know nothing about the matter. A NATIONAL I8SUK. The re election of Hon. Alfred II Colquitt to the Cnited States Senate has become a national issue. By the conser vative democratic journals all over the country, as w ell as by a majority of the thinking people of the party, the issue raised in Senator Colquitt’s election ap pears to lie a vital one, and the principle upon which he .lands is one which can not be surrendered. The Charleston, S. C., News and Cou rier gives the senior Senator from Geor gia this ringing endorsement; "\\ e hope that the Constitution will force the fight. Senator Colquitt has rendered (leorgia good service in the Senate, lie has stood up manfully for the South in every emergency. He can not bo swerved from the straight path of principle by promise of position or threat of defeat Certainly he will not be moved by the cry of free whisky and cheap to bacco. lie is in harmony with the pol icy of the administration and the decla rations of the Democratic party. He be lieves that the shortest cut to the sur plus in the treasury is by the reduction of taxation on the necessaries of life, and the particular “Southern product," whis ky. for which the Constitution is fight ing. is not one of these. The people are stronger than the ad Tooates of free w hisky, and Senator Col quitt is on the side of the people. The newspapers of Georgia which support the administration—the Macon Tele graph, Augusta Gazette, Savannah News, Albany News and Advertiser, the Ath ens Banner* Watchman, and other jour nals that are old-fashioned enough to be lieve that after all there is something in principle—should take notice that Sena tor Colquitt is to be slaughtered because of his fidelity to the principles and pol icy of the Democratic party. There is time enough yet before the election to see that the men who go to the Legisla ture are not plastic figures that can be shaped to the views of the ring at At lanta, which would control the politics of the State. The Colquitt fences all over Georgia should be repaired at once and be staked." THE PIEDMONT. * HOW THE ATLANTA FAIR LOOKED TO A BANNER MAN. A Walk Through the Floors on the Eve ofa the Opening -How the Pxhlbtte nr Groupeti—Clly nnd County lliapleya—Tlie City Filling Up. Atlanta, Oct. 8.—[Special.]—The Piedmont Pair is an assured success. Mr Cleveland and the immense crowds that •will flock to our capital city to sec her great fair, will be amazed at its propor tions. Only a cursory review of itbrings to memory the startling tales of the East; the wonders of fairy land, or, perhaps, more strikingly, the description of crea tion, where the Almighty brought forth worlds from chaos by the command of Uis voice. Georgians can feel a just pride in the brain that conceived and the hand that executed this remarkable dis play of her resources. That it will do her great good in advertising her untold and unknown wealth of minerals, tim bers, soils, agricultural products, manu factures, etc., cannot be doubted It will mark an era in the history of Georgia’s material dcvelopmnt. It will do the old and the young, the rich and the poor good to come and see the evi dences of the rich heritage to which they have fallen heir. Hereafter the world will look in amazement and sur prise on the man that bemoans the ill- luck of breathing tne air of Heaven that bathe’s Georgia’s hills and nestles Georgia’s vales. Wonderful will be our growth and great our development, if we but prove ourselves equal to tho beni/i cence of our surroundings. Work at the groands is by no means complete, but a few hours effect won ders when a thousand hammers keep time witli tho tick of the clock, and eve rybody is determined to have his the finest display on the grounds. Even now there is a greatdeal to be seen and learn ed. Just in front of the entrance, which is handsome, extends the spacious grand stand,with a scatting capacity of a goodly number of thousand. This commands a tine view of the track which seems to be in fine shape and considerably used. Oil’ to the right are two extensive stables which are rapidly being filled with the finestjhoraeflesh in the country. Fur ther around you come ,to an extensive hall devoted to the displays of the coun tics, railroads and cities. We noted es pecially the displays of Floyd anu Talbot counties, and of Southern Florida. Along with these arc magnificent exhibits of hard wood, minerals and other products from different sections of the State Struggling through the wilderness of dis plays anxious to see the blue sky once more you pass on and soon come upon the steps leading into the* main building and here you had as well be content to go slow, for it is otherwise impossible to take an accurate survey of the beautiful and elaborate displays that greet the eye on all sides. The building we have now entered is of two stories and presents quite a handsome appearance within and without The first Hour is devoted chief ly to displays of establishments of Atlan ta and other cities. In one corner of the building is the display of the city of Columbus and it is large and beautifu’ly arranged, illustrating-its varied industries and resources. The second lloor is de voted to art. The very handsome paint ings of Mr. Seney are conspicuous. Everything in the way of fancy needle work, such as the gorgeous crazy quilt ol many colors, pieces and stitches occupies its conspicuous space, reminding us of the persevcrcancc and.skill of the hand that worked it. The display of burial caskets on this lloor is so attractive that it almost resigned us to the lonesomeness of the grave, if shared by a thing so hcautful. Among the works of art we noted espe cially a group of seven of the most prom inent citizens of the Gate City in crayon, by one of Atlanta’s most silted artists. The handsome face of the President of the Piedmont Fair Association, hangs near by; that of Henry Grady will be swung in a day or two. All over the grounds arc scattered smaller houses, some devoted lojprivate exhibits, others to the comfort and convenience of visi tors. In this running sketch we have hardly outlined the things to he seen. We have not even touched the displays of machinery, etc., which will be large The preparations for fowls are elaborate, and the display will doubtless be a most attractive feature of the lair. The problem now is what to do with the people who are to be here. How to get them to and from the grounds. The city is already comfortably fall, with ad ditions with every incoming train. CoLs, mattresses and other sleeping equipments are in active demand, and being spread by the thousand. It is popularly thought than resort will have to be made either to the lawns or to shelves. M. C. P. THE LEGISLATURE. Wkal waa Done In Both Menace nn Yesterday Atlanta, OcL 8.—[Special.]—In the house the following hill# having failed of passage were recommitted: Regulat ing the inspection and sale of commerciaj fertilizers ; Establishing an experimental agricultural station.

Editor ltoaa and Rev. Holder .Have a Con troversy In Jefferson. Jekfkbson,. Oct 8.—[Special.]—Hoi dcr, the street preacher, made some per sonal allusions to Editor Ross’ comments on him in his paper this week. I don’t know what course Ross will pursue, but if he should notice it at all, you may look for the wool to fly, and from the interest he has created, I should think that Holder could see that our people would be glad that he would do like the wandering Arab, “fold his tent and hie away. EDITOR BOSS’ PIECE. Following is the article in the Jackson Herald: "Mr. Holder, the evangelist, is again in ouv midst, preaching on the streets. The record made by some of the leading Salvationists has rendered street corner services less popular than formerly. We don't doubt huttliat Mr Holder has good intentions and is well versed in the Scriptures, but we do doubt any benefit accruing from his wholesale attacks upon church and State. To the old-time reli gion We suppose this novel doctrine is as a bracing brci-ze making it more staunch. The old ship of church continues to land her thousands, while those who agree that she never sails are learning how they too may take proper passage on her.” A Kick Find. Atlanta, Oct. 8.—[Special]—A few days ago surveyors, who were running a line across a tract of land within five miles of Atlanta, observed that their compass behaved badly. Looking aboot the engineer saw gome lumps of iron all along a gully that ran aoross the field; they traced this surface ore for a half mile, and brought some specimens to town. These were analyzed by Profes sor John W McCandless, who reports them tine specimens of manganese iron MR. RUSSELL REPORTS. CONFERENCE WITH THE CITY COUN CIL YESTERDAY. The local BlUa and the Position of the Rep- Council—The School Bill audita Amend. “It is just to state," says a Washington correspondent, “that the Piedmont fair committee were not biased by their tariff views, in extending an invitation to Mr. Randall to deliver an address. We under stand that a majority of the committee do rot agree with Mr. Randall in his tar iff views, andas a guest he will violate the courtesies of the occasion by as much as reference to tariff matters. Mr. Sam uel Cot, a strong advocate ofa tariff for revenue only, was invited to deliver the Piedmont address, but was compelled to decline on account of pressing literary engagements. Mr. Cox certainly under stood that be was not invited to Atlanta to makd a tariff speech. The friends of Senator Colquitt in Washington, are glad that the protection ists of the State have thrown off the mask and propose to contest his re-elec tion to the senate. They assert with warmth that it la the first time that the Randall (tripe of the Georgia democrats have had the courage to publicly an nounce their convictions, and to ask for a public discretion of the principles in volved. 1 bey do not seem to entertain a doubt that Senator Colquitt will gain a aweeping victory, and be re-electe tod the senate by en overwhelming majori ty. .The revenue reformers of Georgia will force the fighting from the start, and 's ' compel the Ranaallitea to fall back upon _ / the republican party for aid and comfort It is now said that in case of Senator Colquitt’s elevation to tbs cabinet when Secretary Lamar goes to the bench, Gov. Gordon will appoint lir. H. W. Grady to the Senate. Georgia will sustain inch aa action, and th# Bans as-Watchman, though differing rrom Hr. Grady in some points of public policy, will greet such an action with cordial commendation. .. Col. A. R. Lamar, it is said, will write L a history of Georgia politics since the war. It will be a lively volume, with ___ sstiiMiSfssSrtw ss sei,* aid will he a model author. The miyorand council met yesterday evening to hear from Hon. R. B. Russell, in regard to a number of bills introduc ed in the Legislature. Mr. Russell ap peared before the council aud was called on by the mayor to read the bills. The first was a bill to authrize the mayor and council of the city of Athens to lay out and widen the streets of said city. Mr. Russell favored this bill pro vided it was amended so as the city should pay the cost to property holders where damage occurs. The next was the bill to authorize the mayor and council to assess such part of annual cost of water for fire purposes as they shall deem proper, against the pro perty protected; to declare what proper- ts so protected, and to provide for the collection of assessments. Mr. Russell said he would oppose this bill. No 3. was a bill to authorize the may or and council to levy a special tax on the several trades and professions. Mr. Russell thought this would serve to run off small dealers and cripple business. No. 4 was a bill to authorize the mayor and council to grade, pave, ma cadamize and otherwise improve the streets. Mr. Russell said he would favor this bill, provided it would apply only to the fire limits, and would advo cate such an amendment At present the bill was too general. , The next bill was to authorize the mayor and council to lay and construct drains and sewers; to authorize the tak ing of private property and provide the wanner o r assessing damages. Mr. Rus sell said this was a good bill, and he be lieved tbe situation of Athens would prevent the taking of private property, as the sewers could be laid along the new streets to be opened. The sewer could empty into the river below the factory. Mayor Hodgson then called on Mr. Russell to explain the school bill. Mr. Russell said he had introduced this bill himself, and that council was not respon sible for this, as for the others. He would advocate the passage of this amendment, which provided. that when a vacancy occurs in any ward trustee, it shall be filled by a vote of the whole people. \V here a man moves out of his ward, this would create a vacancy. The amendment only applies where vacan cies occur. Council adjourned, after thanking Mr. Russell for attending. The council will meet on Monday and consider the mat ter. Locating tbe Line. Jug Tavern, Oct. 8.—[Special.]—Maj Morrison and CaplUenry Beusse passed through here yesterday, riding over the 6 C fir N line. It is still a mooted ques tion where the road will run.

A Maryland Cheiulat Reckoned Without .* ^ • BU Uo*t. I °f Ae malarial dis tricts?, 'ftAyjfld, near the city Of Washington, and am exposed to all the dangerous influences of the impure air and water of that region. Being naturally of a strong consti tution, 1 had frequently boasted that no chills and fever or other malarious complaint would ever trouble me. This was my experience and the con dition in which I found myself six months ago. I'first noticed that I did not fid so sprightly and vigorous as was my wont to do. I felt tired ^nd enervated. Soon I noticed a distinct and dfstressingback ache would make its appearance in tbe afternoon, in creasing in severity if the exercise was more than usually violent. Then a stretchy feeling with profuse gaping made its appearance. Then my head, always dear as a bell, would feel heavy and’I began to have headaches. The cold stage was marked withchat- „ tering of the teeth, severe rigors passed over me, and no amount of clothing could keep me warm. The chill was ■succeedetnnjjiyj^jb^e fever, injwhich I seemed foRSWhing up, the con gestion in my bead produced a violent pain in the ffonta' ”'rtion and a heat ed sensation of the eyelids, with an in describable aching of the lower limbs. Nausea and vomiting occurred with severe retchings, and when the parox ysms passed off I was thoroughly pros trated by a weakness that was'felt in every part of me. I drugged myself with quinine, and obtained sora? relief. But my respite was of brief deration. I was now so much reduced that I could hardly walk or stand uprighl My disease soon culminated in a continued malarial fe ver which kept me closely confined for about a week. I became exceedingly depressed and melancholy, so much so that I lost interest in my work, and, indeed, scarcely cared what happened to me. During all this time, it must be un derstood that I did not neglect medical treatment All the most powerful remedies wera.twjiJi such as iiquid ar senate of potash, valeriante of iron, mercury, bromide of potassium, chlo ride of bismuth, chinoidine, chinchoni- dia, quinine and several others. All this I did under the advice of eminent physicians. It was while I was in this deplorable condition that the claims made for Kaskine, the new quinine, as a specific for malaria, were first brought to my attention. I knew nothing of its value to justify my having any confidence in il but as everything else had failed 1 deemed it my duty to try it, so 1 began its use, and its prompt and radical ef fects were of the nature of a revelation to me. Many people may think the statement scarcely credible, but it is a fact that alter only a few days' use of Kaskine all the leading symptoms in my Case wire decidedly abated or ceased altogether; and in a few weeks from the tjme—r took the first dose I was cured. This was about the first of January, and since then I have experienced no recurrence of the malarial symptoms in any form. A remedy of such ex ceptional virtue for the cure of malaria ought to be commended and univer sally made known. I have therefore urged it Tipon the attention of my friends, several of whom have used it with like good results in every case, and it is with the greatest pleasure and sincerity that I commend Kaskine to sufferers from malaria everywhere. * Respectfully yours, * v J.

Pnblie Day In Washington—The Fair In Un Copnty—An Excellent Exhibition. Washington, Ga, OcL 4.—[Special.] On the first Tuesday, public sale day, in Wilkes county, quite a crowd were on our streets. Not nearly so many, how ever, as are often seen, owing to the fine weather, and to the fact that our farmers, who are as good as can be found in Geor gia, are busily engaged in gathering their crops. The cotton is opening very rap idly, fully two-thirds being open or gath ered. The upland corn crop is as fine as has been known for years. Wilkes can make her own food and not feel the tax. Her red and mulatto lands produce mag nificent yields of all kinds of grain. Large quantities of peas were planted, and the yield this season is abundant A one-horse farmer told the writer that he would make 200 bushels. Most of these were planted between the hills of corn. The yield of small grain was not large in the county this year, owing to the severe winter and small acreage, but our farm ers are certainly making a fine average crop in other lines. But for the excessive wet weather, two months ago and the subsequent droughL the county could not possibly have gath ered the crops that would have been made.

Danielsville and community are glad to welcome her home. Our folks are preparing to go to the Piedmont Exposition, and thence to the Northeast Georgia Fair. In our county it is hard to decide who will be left at home to keep house. Our high school will open on Novem ber 1st The colored journals of the country continue warning their constituents in New York State, with good effect, to vote against Colonel Fred Grant upon his record as a negro hater. The Wash ington (D. C.) Bee has been one of the foremost opposers of Col. Grant, and in its last edition says: “How the colored voters of New York will act toward Colonel Grant, the negro hater of West Point, we are unable to say. If Fred Grant conceived a dislike for the negro at West Point and declared that none should graduate while he was v cadet there, is it not natural for him to mtertaiu the same feeling toward them now? Has he manifested any change? He is the same Fred Grant who. expects to be elected Secretary of State of New Y’ork State on the name of his illustrious father. It has been remarked that Grant’s election means his nomination for President in '88. If nominated we are of the opinion that there would be no show for his election.” OH!

High Shoals, Oct. 7.—[Special.]— Moonlight nights on the Appalachce are just too lovely. Constant sounds of rev elry were heard each night from the romance lovers of our young people echoing and re-echoing across the silvery A new ferryman took his stand on the boat yesterday,.much to the delight of a number of our citizens. A crowd will leave for the Piedmont fair next week. The busy drummer days have come, meanest of the year. Mrs. Boynton, of Griffin, is in town. The little babe of Mr and Mrs T W Powell is stilt' very ill. The doctors pronounce the case almost hopeless since fever attacked its brain. Mr and Mrs It K Reaves and Mrs W H Morton were summoned to the bedside of tbe . sick babe on Sunday last Mrs Morton after spending several daywretarned home cn Wednesday, / true to themselvek, as thdy always a*e, stock-raisers had on exhibition, a yard full of handsome colts, that would have done credit to the blue grass districts. They had been taken right from a grass pasture, and had received no attention of brush or extra food. With this extra attention they would look gay indeed. Our people are more after real worth than mere show, however. Besides the colts some fine cattle if M. W. A. Rur- dette, were on exhibition; also fine Jer sey red shoats of 11 S. Erwin, Esq Among the crowd we noted especially the colts of Mr. T. B. Green, some ten in number, Capt. 0. A. Alexander, who for years has been raising blooded stock, and is now drivings handsome pair of his own raising. Mr. F. \V. Barnett had three of as handsome mule colts as could be found, finely funned, trim, active and of good size. They were from a very fine jack that Mr. B. recent ly sold. Mr. M. P. lteese, though ab sorbed in the practice of the law, finds time to indulge his taste for fine stock, and had on hand two fine specimens, two and three years old. They are about medium height and will make regular Kentucky horses. Mr. Milton Robert’s handsome combination colt bore off the blue ribbon, as the finest three year old, and the red as the best specimen ot horse flesh of all ages. This means a good deal, as besides other fine ones, UapL Jackson had aline four year old just out from Kentucky, so Georgia downed Ken tucky. Mr. Jacob Webb Spratlin had a fine specimen of a half Percheron on hand. A crosss on a Hambletonian thoroughbred and a Texas pony bore off the blue ribbon as the finest sucking colt owned by Mr John Burdetl Had it been more generally known that there was certain to he an exhibition of fine stock the number would have been much lar ger. Many of our largest stock raisers were not represented at all. Every one was of the opinion, how ever, that the display was creditable, and that it ought to be the initiative to a reg ular fair every full. There is no doubt that Washington is a fine place for a fair, and that they largely promote the devel opinent of interest in, and improvement of our live stock, which is a most desi rable object to be attained. Besides horses, we could make a fine display of hogs, cattle, sheep, poultry, farm pro duce of all sorts, have fine racing and fancy work and other exhibits from the ladies beyond number, and of superla tive quality. Some of the fine stock of Wilkes would add much to the attractive ness of the Northeast Georgia Fair. On Wednesd-y the lovers of the race course met and had rare sport watching some ol the blooded stock of Wilkes dash at 2:20 around their track, near Washington. JEFFERSON. Jefferon, Oct.7.—[Special.]—Holder, the Yankee (anti-church) street preach er, has been holding services several af ternoons in front of the drug store, some say on missionary ground. He has, on account of religion, quit voting, as our office-holders are too corrupt to vote for. Wilson Lord, a faithful brother of the .he hardshell faith, says if the radicals ever get in power again and Blaine is nominated for president he will vote again. Sheriff McElhannon had the misfor tune to lose a fine mule on Thursday night This is the second loss Tom has had this year. Col. Wylie Howard has just returned from Atlanta, and reports that the expo- position is moving on and will be a big thing for our State. Jkfeerson, OcL 6.—[Special.]—Mayor Randolph held his regular matinee on yesterday, and Cuffee paid very dear for a dance they had over near the depot last week. Several bridges were let out here this week to the lowest bidder, and among the successful bidders was King, col ored, of Athens, who received the con tract to build the bridge across Curry’s creek, at Jefferson. It will bo a bridge on tl.e order of your upper bridge, at Athens, and will enable the Jackson county people to get to court in the fu ture despite the floods. With this bridge, it will be ituposs'ble to keep the people from any section of the county from the county town. Cols E K Lumpkin and W B Burnett were here yesterday on legal business. Mrs II H Brock is critically sick, and very little hope is expressed for her re covery. She has been sick all the sum mer. Willis Ol ver, colored, was arrested here Sunday night for retailing whisky without license, by Collector Hunt, and carried to Gainesville, where he waived nisi and went to Atlanta to plead guilty, t his will he a stunner to a crowd of worthless negroes who have been lying around here working a little and ne [ling contraband whisky. The Lite William Bell’s land, Clarkesboro, was sold hers Tuesday at administrator’s sale. They brought very good prices, and were principally bought by the heirs; also a lot at Center, at sheriff’s sale, bough by Claud Chandler. Mr A H Brock had the misfortune to lose his li.tle child on Monday night with cholera infantum, and it was turied yesterday. He has the sympathies of our entire people in this, his first be reavement. H P Bell, of Gainesville, spent Sunday last with his many friends in Jefferson. We arc always glad to see Harry, and hope that his visits maybe oftener. J L Williamson, of the firm of Austin & Co, is the collector general for the firm this fall, and their colored porter, Milledge Shaw, says they wiil soon be gin to sing “show pity, Lord;” but up to now collections are very good, $10.00.
