PROFITS OF THE Louisiana lot- I ing under a very heavy tax rate, and TERY-. The history and the exact met ha ods of the conduct of the business of I the Louisiana Lottery Company have j we believe, never been explained in brief compass until the January the man who is to serve his people best is the man who sets to work to reduce expenditures and to lessen the tax rate. And the question comes down into our very midst. In the next year Dumber of The Forum presented the J^thena will spend . great deal of complete history of the company by one ol the founders of the Anti»Lot- tery League and the editor of the anti-lottery organ of New Orleans. From this narrative it appears that the Lottery Company was organized by a charter given by the Recon struction Legislature of the State, and the successive stages of its growth are all explained up to the time when it has now pat a ticket of money in improvements, and her tax«s will be apportioned out among various departments. The new May or and Council that go into office to' morrow at noon will see to it that the money of the city is spent in an economic manner, and that alder, man will serve his people best who sees that all necessary improvements are made for the least money.

A HOUSE DIVIDED. When great systems of railroads combine and the combination in turn gobbles up other lines, you may rest easy on the proposition that sooner or later the vexed question of con. is good amounts to $13,000,000 0^^ the monopoly wiU ^0™ satisfactorily settled. There "is no use in going out of one’s way to villify and abuse a synm dicate just because it owns a large number of railroads, for if the com bination be one not for the best in. terests of the people, sooner or later more. the alliance resolution. The Farmer’s Alliance of Georgia made up its mind through the exe cutive committee to make a new year’s resolution. And it was made with a vim and it will break np and ad j„ 8t iteelf to determination that says very plainly that they intend keeping it to the end. And the resolution was to give blicik eye to Third Partyism.

But he will go back there in all hu man probability. Messrs John and Arthur Arnold, of this city, learned the other day that a certain negro about twenty-one years old and named Will Porter had escaped from the South Carolina pent tentiary, and was in Georgia. A re ward had also been offered for him. Now, the Messrs. Arnold had seen this boy around Athens for quite a while, but had supposed he had work ed out his time. As Boon as they learn, ed he was an escaped convict they at once tracked him down, and yesterday ran across him near the Paper Mill bridge. They stopped him, talked pleasantly to him, and then Mr. Arthur Arnold laid his hand on him and told him his purpose. The negro shot away from him like a rocket. Several bullets were sent after him as he flew on down the road, and suddenly the negro keeled over. They thought they had killed him, but found he had simply exhausted himself in running and was ready to give up. Porter is now in jail and will be turned over to the proper authorities of South Carolina, when called for in the proper manner. Messrs. Arnold will get the reward for captaring the escaped convict. fit the circumstances around it. So it has been with the Terminal Company.

On Christmas Eve Mr. Meadow, in company with some friends, went banting, and while on this expedition of pleasure, he took cold, and went at once to bed. The slight cold increased and it was not long until it had developed into a violent case of pneumonia which baffled the skill of the attendant physician, until yesterday Miss Lounettle Green of Oglethorpe a beautiful and winning young lady and MUs.Lula Paris one of Oconees sweet est girls left for Athens this morning to the sorrow of the boys.

To begin with, the election of direct ors of the Central railroad was in itself quite a surprise. The result of today’s balloting show ed, though, that the rumor had a good foundation. THE.NEW DIRECTORS. Gen. E. P. Alexander, J. K. Garnett, Abraham Vetsburg, Joseph null, Gen Henry R. Jackson, George J. Mills, Gen. G. M. Sorrell, C. H. Phinizy, H T Inman, E. P. Howell, U. B. Har- 50Id, James Swann, J. C. Maben. The four new directors are: Geni-rai Henry R. Jaekson, Gent-ral G. M. Sor rell. George J. Mills, of Savannah; and J. C. Maben, of New York. The directors retired were: Patrick Calhoun, John C Calhoun and Mr. S M. Inman. The fourth vacancy was cuused by the resignation of E. M. Green. Both parties in the Terminal com pany insisted upon the retention of Mr S. M. Inman, of Atlanta, but be wa : inexorable in presenting the resignatioi. which be had submitted nearly a year ago. S ven of the new board are Savan nahians: eleven are Georgians. HOW THE NEW BOARD IS REGARDED. The new board is regarded as a very dne body of men. It is a board of men who are above suspicion. No one read ing the list will think for an instant that the majority of these men would stoop to any underhand dealings o r any thing calculated to injure the Cen tral railroad on the interest of the mi nority stockholders. The new board gives great satisfaction o all interested parties. The New Southern Counsel. Savannah, Ga. Jan. 4.—The qm s tiou of a successor to Mr. Pat Calhoun as general southern counsel of the Ter minal system is one that excites gener al interest here. It is pretty generally conceded that Mr. Scott has once mon gained a large interest in Terminal af fairs, and if such he the case, James T. Worthington will no doubt resume hi? former position as counsel for the en tire system with headquarters in Wash ington. There is a rumor apparently with some foundation that Captain Henry Jackson, of Atlanta, and Hon. Pop Barrow, of Athens, will be made con jointly general southern counsel for the Terminal system to succeed Mr. Cal houn’s firm. The fact that General Jackson, Mr. Mills and General Sor- relj, staunchest supporters of the old Central company have been made di rectors would seem to show that the men who once controlled the Gentral will again take charge, in the financial as well as the law department.

Tbe parties are all colored, and are a bad lot, there being five boys, three of whom have served terms in the penitentiary, and the cause of the affair was a drunk en quarrel. The brothers went home from a saloon at midnight, and had number of words, which led to blows, when the elder, William, went to neighbor’s house and procured an old musket, went back home and dared his younger brother to fight. No sooner had he stepped outside of the door than he received the contents of the weapon In the heart. The ram rod was shot nearly through his body and pinned him to the gronnd, causing instant death. The murderer, upon re alizing what he had done, pulled out a razor and cut his throat. The police Were notified and the murderer was placed in jail and was attended b; physician, who sewed up the gash. 7 murderer was nearly dead from the loss of blood, bat it is thought that he will recover.
