Atlanta News.
Atlanta, Feb. 4.—The State officials
desire to call the attention of the newly
elected county officials to an important
matter.
The law requires the bonds of the tax
collectors and tax receivers in this
State to be filed iu the executive d
partinent within forty days after the
election of these officers.
The time will be out on the 17th of
this month.
To-date the officers in only 30 coun
ties out of the 137 counties in the State
have sent their bonds to the depart
ment.
A nd most of these have been sent
back because they do not bear tha im
press of the Ordinaries’ seals.
These bonds, it should be remember

the ordinaries—in some counties with
the seals of the county commissioners
before they can be filed. {
This is a very important matter.
For when the law shall 1 e ui compl ed

filed within the time specified by law,
that is before the 17th of this month,
then the offices of the tax collector i and

It Is Couccded That Secretary Wlndom’s
Successor Will Be a Western Mau—The
Poet on the Probable Appointment of
John C. New—Spooner and Aldrich.
Work to Bo Done to Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—It is tioalwn to
speculate on the successor of the late
Secretary Windom. It is generally
agreed, however, that the new secretary
will be a western mau, and in perfect
harmony with the president on finan
cial matters.
United States Treasurer Huston, of
Indiana, wants to succeed Windom. In
the meantime Consul General New is
willing to be sacrificed. —-
In pointing out the impossibility of se
curing any one to succeed the late Sec
retary Windom from a distance within
ten days, The Post says:
“The president opens wide the door
for speculation and to those who read
between the lines his determination to
place John C. New, of Indianapolis, now
consul general at London, at the bead of
the treasury department seems apparent.
It will be remembered that Mr. New was
very desirous of enteriug the cabinet,
and it was thought that at one time he
had the treasury portfolio in his grasp.
Since he lias been in Loudon he lias been
in correspondence with Secretary Win-
dom and the president on financial mat
ters, and his qualifications are such as to
admit of no doubt regarding his ability
to fill the position. That Indiana has al
ready one cabinet officer would not in
all probability deter the president from
apjtointing Ills friend to the vacant sec
retaryship.”
Senator Spooner, whose name has
been mentioned iu connection with the
vacancy, in conversation on the subject,
said:
Atlanta, Feb. S.—[Special] —Gen
eral R. J. Henderson died this morning
at the home of his son-in-law, L. J.
Hill of the Gate City National bank.
The general has been seriously ill some
days and has been in failing health for
a long time.
General Henderson is a native Geor
gian, and in the State’s history bis
uame has a prominent plaoe.
He was born in Jasper county on the
22nd of November, 1322, and is in bis
seventieth year.
Than General Henderson Georgia has
no more devoted, loyal son.
His early life was passed on his fa
ther’s plantation, where lie, with his
brother, Hon. John T. Henderson, at
tended school. At the age of twelve
years, about, he went to Covington,
where he entered the college, remaining
quite a while.
He proved a bright, quick student
and for him liis pieceptors predicted a
great future.
After passing through the Covington
school General He..uerson entered the
old Manual Labor school in Gwinnett
county and again gave evidence of the
useful life which lollowed.
From the Manual Labor school the
general went to Athens, and entered
the University, graduating with dis
tinction in 1844.
After his graduation he returned to
Covington and began studying law un
der Judge John J. Floyd. In a short
time he was admitted to the bar and
soon acquired a fine practice.
About 1844 he married Miss Laura E.

When the superintendent arrived at

siderable difficulty. A number of Hun

Mr. Keighley. Some of the 'missiles

The families of the victims are being

All Quiet la Savannah.
Savannah, Feb. 4—The Clifton-Dil-
lon embroglio has resulted in nothing
new so far. There is grave uncertainty
of the consequence. Whether Dillon
will resent Clifton’s denunciation is not
known. Many of the fnends of the par
ties do not think that the matter should
be carried any further, as both are gen
tlemen of good standing and above re
proach of fear and dishonesty. The cor
respondence is the talk of tiie city, and
apprehension of serious results is yet en
tertained.
