EVANS FOR GOVERNOR.
Wo believe General Kvmuh is
11)0 liosl. mini of tlx* two now ill
tin:field, and Unit his election
would lio It or servo, lire people of
Georgia and tho interests of tire
Dontoorutio, party than any man
wo could run, considering the
inn It or from both an ooonomio
and political standpoint.
General Evans is n pure man
in 11 io first place, and as Governor
of lire state would {five ns a pure
administration. Ho is above lire
popular political chicanery °l lire
day and would scorn to take ad
vent sure of bis high office for the
furlliernnee of his personal or pn-
litical interest.
Ills sympathies arc with lire
masses and lie has proven beyond
dispute, that his every net in pub
lic and pi ivete life lias been with
n view to the advancement «f the
material interests of the people,
the upholding of a high standard
of polities, law, morals, and relig
ion. Gould we find another with
u record so broad and full, and
withal so clean? The people will
answer this question when they
send their delegates to the con
vention m August, instructed for
General Evans.
* THAT $1,000.
“ Nor shall any senator or repre
sentative after his (|ui\li!ieation
as such bo elected by tl o geuciid
assembly or appointed by the
governor either without advice
and consent of the somite to any
office or appointment bavin >• nnv
emolument annexed then l >
dining the time for which he shall
have been elected.”
This surely seems to cover the
ease of 'Mr. Atkinson and shows
most conclusively that he should
not have accepted the award ot
$1,000. The above quotation is
from tire constitution and is au
thoritative. It leaves no loop
li ile to escape.
Gen. Evans showed this in joint
debate and Mr. Atkinson produc
ed lire opinion of t wo lawyers ol
Atlanta, Mr. John 1. Hall and
(Till’ord Anderson, to show by
them tbut lie was so entitled to
receive this amount. Hut what
liis the opinion of these two gen
tlemen to do with the express
provision of tire act which sa\>:
“nor shall any senator, Ac etc.
The provision of the net is ex
plicit. and it seems but just mat
nght that Mr. Atkinson should
fed well paid and say no more
about his claims, his immense
party claims.
Whether Mr. Atkinson should
in nil justice and fair dealing re
turn this amuul to the tax payer-
lays now with him. We think
lie ought so to do, after his way
is made clear in the matter.
Keep the money if you will, Mr
Atkinson, but let u> hear no
more talk of indebtedness to you

Window Sketches.
Sometimes post office clerks,
ticket agents and others, who
deal directly with the public,
witness some very ludieriKius and
pathetic scenes.
The post office windows in
Cleveland itself furnishes its quo
ta. Not long ago a colored hoy
stepped up to tire window and in
a most, confident manner asked to
lie given the mail of a (an t,a in far
mer for whom lie was working.
Upon being informed that there
was nothing for bin, tire boy re
plied : “Von belli r git up dal
mail for Mister Smifs cn/.e lie
won’t bar no fooliu will, an, he
wouldn’t a sont me here ef tier
wairnt no mail.” His obstinacy
was almost, like rending the post
office scene in “Handy Andy.”
A great many people are sur
prisingly ignorant of postal af
fairs. For instance the clerk is
not infrequently asked tire price
of a two cent stamp, and dozens
of countrymen know as little
about attaching a stamp to ail
envelope, as they do of the prin
ciples of phonography.
The most pathetic scene that
ever came under the notice of the
clerk happened a few weeks ago,
when an old woman, wrinkled
and held with hard toil and
year. , asked for a letter. One
was handed her, returned to her
from the 1 tend I .el ter oltiee at
Washington. She was very ig
norant lull noticed the diU'erenec
and asked vlrerc the letter canu
from ; upon being informed that it
came from the Dead Letter office,
she broke down oil the desk
moaning: “Oh! my hoy! Oh!
Charlie! They’ve caught him
and hung him! Oh! my hoy,
my hoy!” She was quieted after
time, and was made to under
stand that the letter she held was
one she had written herself," and
not being delivered, was return
ed. Upon inquiring it was found
Hint her hoy Charlie was outlaw
ed for train wrecking, and that
$1000 was offered ns a reward for
his capture, and the poor old
creature, in whoso heart Charlie
was yet her darling hoy, was dai
ly expecting news of his dei'tll.
The post master is often the
keeper of many secrets, and it vio
lation of Ids trust, ought to he
cause for his removal. It is re
freshing too, and flatters his van
ity sometimes, when Ins is tired
into drowsiness thumbing ovei
and over well known boxes ol
letters, for a blooming miss of six
teen to come up hesitating and
