Hewitt and Cornel) Will Probabl) Oppose Each Other. j New York, Sept. 24.—[Special.]—It is given out semi-ofBcially that Mayor Hewitt will be renominated by the county democracy county convention unanimously when it comes to meet in October. Next Tuesday evening, the 25th inst, the county democracy will hold itt first meeting etoce last spring. Mayor Hewitt was asked yesterday who would decide as to the fitness of any candidate that might be chosen for mayor ? The question was called forth by Mr. Hewitt’s statement that if a fit man was cbosen he would not run against him. - “I shall decide,” he said, "whether or not I shall run again. I ask nothing more than that a good man be nominated. The democratic party is rich in good men, and it would have no difficulty in finding one who would properly conduct this of fice. Mr. Cleveland went into the office of president,” Mr. Hewitt said, changing the subject, “ill prepared for the work, but his administration has been remark ably good, and has been pure and honest The country is prosperous. The contin uance in office of the republicans meant corruption. The democrats should not be trusted too long, however; for all par ties, long in power, become corrupt." The very latest candidate mentioned for mayor on the republican side is Gov. Alonzo B. Cornell, whose recent corres pondence with Mayor Hewitt has drawn attention to him as a fair competitor in the field of voting to the latter. Mr. Cor nell represented the Eleventh assembly district of this city in the legislature of 1879, and was speaker of the assembly in that year. He was elected governor in 1879, and had Grover Cleveland for his successor. • It is supposed that Mr. Cor nell would dome as near polling the full republican vote in the city of New Yotk as any candidate yet named on that side. The notion of running an ex-governor of the state as mayor of New York is not a new one. In 1876 the republican candi date for mayor in this city was John A. Dix, whose term of service as governor had expired on January 1, 1875. Gen. Dix received 57,811 votes. The success ful democratic candidate wa3 Smith Eiy, Jr, who had 111,850.

Mr. Scarlett was Tery rich and misanthropic. He led the lile of a hermit, and the neighbors said it was because he had been disap pointed in love. Several years ago he sent for a stone cutter in Atlanta and had him cut an inscription on a huge bould er over 100 by 200 feet in dimensions. Then acate was dug under the stone and in it a coffin was placed to await Mr. Scarlett's death. This happened not long ago, and now the body rests under the big tombstone. Perry Home Journal: A peculiar find was picked up in the garden of Mr. D- D. Bateman, in Perry, one day last week. It is an old Harrison campaign badge of the Presidential campaign of 1740. It is made of bronze, about the size of a sil ver quarter, and bears on one side the historic log cabin, and in*a circle aronnd it, the words, “The People’s Choice, 1840.” On the reverse side is the face of Harrison, and in circular form the words, “\V. 11. Harrison, born 1775.” It seems to have been made to wear as a watch charm and was no doubt proudly worn by some staunch old whig of that time. Bean parties are all the rage in Atlan ta, Augusta and Macon. Each player is provided with a fancy bean bag, the col ors of no two being alike. A board about three feet long and two feet wide, with a hole in it six iuches wide, is placed slanting against the wall. The bags are thrown from the end of the room and whoever throws through the hole the greatest number of times gets the prize bag corresponfiing in color to his or her own. The greatest fun consists in open ing the prize bags. Sometimes they con tain peanuts and sometimes bon-bons or even lace handkerchiefs, or almost any thing.

Journae calls at tention to a very important matter in 8tstimr that people generally, when they pay off mortgages, put the; papers in their pockets and go home without tak ing the trouble (o go to the clerk’s office and have them cancelled. This neglect often causes mischief and impairs the credit ol those who are so negligent. It is not the business of the merchant or money lender to have the mortgages cancelled, and unless the person taking up the mortgage attends to it himself, it is kept on the county records, a warning to all men that the property is bound for debt. It is the best plan to have all mortgages cancelled as soon as they are paid off. Items of Interest Collected on the College - Campos. The attendance on the fall session is perhaps made up, as there are about 150 students enrolled, which favorably com pares with preceding years. AU of the classes have settled down to work and once more the monotonous routine of study and recitation has been resumed. The number of students in each class is approximately as follows: Law students. 15 Senior class. 30 Junior class 40 Sophomore class. 50 Freshman 15 Total 150 The number of new students who have entered college this year is consid erably in excess of last. The falling off is in the attendance of old students, many of whom have not returned. #** The Law class has decided to organ ize a military company to he known as the Lucy Cobb Light Infantry. Tho or ganization was formed at the suggestion of Col. Andrews, an enterprising mem ber of the class, and on his proposition to assnmo all responsibility for the pay- rneut of the uniforms. This liberal offer on the part of Col. Anderson was readily accepted by the boys, and as the Colonel is himself a thorough soldier as well as an imposing individual, having served with distinction as commander of one of the Virginia college regiments, he was honored with the position of captain of the new company. His liberality, re sponding to this generous compliment from his appreciative fellow lawyers, gave the class a handsome treat at Rush’s return for his newly given honor.’ The Colonel is also quite a whist player, and will take part in any game where one more fellow is needed. *** The classes haven't yet organized their baseball teams for tho ensuing year.

THE MARKET HOUSE AND CITY CLOCK- HUNGRY ENOUGH TO APPRECIATE FINE BEEF—PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE AND THE CAPITOL. ■Washington D. C., September 24.— Banner-Wactiimas. I am in ono of the prettiest cities that can be found in this our land of liberty. Look at its broad streets, as smooth and hard as s house floor, no banging nor thumping over rock pavements, nor through mud, hub deep, as is often the case in our Classic Athens. In her prominent busi ness street one sees the numerous and elaborate parks shaded with such a va riety of trees and shrubbery mounds and plats filled with beautiful flowers so ar tistically arranged, which are beautiful to look upon. One could wish that when this body of ours is laid away to its resting place it might be beneath ono of these mounds which both nature and art havo so beautiful formed. Wo might go on and talk hours of the parks and avenues as now seen here, and leave untold half their beauty and attractions. I’ennsylviana avenue is the wide and fashionable business street A walk through this street, and a look at the fine display of goods of every descrip tion seen in the store windows is well worth the time spent Corcoran Art gallery no one should miss when in this city, of which I will say more some future time. Early this morning I took an inside view of tho Central market. What you can't find there iu the way of eatables, cannot be fonnd in the country and everything looks so clean and tempt ing.

He is the Ath ens correspondent for the Atlanta Jour nal. A. M. Hartsfield, of Newnan, also stands high, and is one of the best writers in the class. Last year he won a Junior speakers place on composition, and his ef fort was pronounced as one of unusual excellence. Then there is Cleve Wilcox- on, Walter Sheppard, Ed Cohen, W. O.
