We have been asked to state the order of succession in the presiden tial office. It is fixed by chapter 4 of the acts of the Forty-ninth congress, first session. It provides that in case of the removal, death, resignation or inability of both the president and vice-president, then the secretary ot state shall act as president until the disability of the president or vice president is re moved or a president is elected. If there be no secretary of state, then the secretary of the treasury will act; aud the remainder of the order of succession is as follows: The secretary of war,attorney gen eral, postmaster general, secretary of the navy and secretary of the interior. The acting president must, upon taking office, convene congress, if not at the time in sess ion, in extraordinary session, giv ing twenty days’ notice. This act applies only to such cabinet officers as shall have been appointed by the advice and consent of the sen ate, and are eligible under the con stitution to the presidency. The portfolio of agriculture was not in existence when the act was passed. The Forty-ninth congress was chosen in 1884. The act here summarized was inspired by the assassination of President Garfield, i.i 1881. As originally drawn and reported to the senate the bill included the speaker of the house aud president pro tempore of the senate, in the order named, to come after the cabinet should be exhausted; but those names were stricken out.

THGNEW COURT HOUSE. The News and Courant regrets that there should be talk of oppo sition to the new court house and hopes that it will not take definite shape, as it could only cause delay in the work. The board of commissioners who have the matter in hand, seeing the necessity for anew court house for Bartow county, have purchased the lot and have paid for it. The lot is now the property of the coun ty, and it was a good investment and bought at a reasonable price. They have further advertised for bids on the court house, and Mr. Fred Wagner being the lowest bid der, the contract for building the foundations was awarded to him for $4,245 Under the law the commissioners could not let the contract for the complete building this year, and have only let the contract for the foundations. The bid of Mr. Wagner for the whole building including the foundations, was $43,475. If he should receive the contract to complete the build ing, the amount tor the foundations will be deducted from that amount, which would leave $39,230 for the remainder aboye the .foundations. The cost is not excessive for the building contemplated. It will be a handsome structure and a credit to the county. With nearly four million dollars of taxable property the county could not in justice to herself spend less than the amount named above in anew court house. The have acted on what they consider the best in terests of the county, and, upon the recommendation of the last grand jury have taken the neces sary steps to carry into effect this recommendation and bwifd anew court house. The court house tax for the present year will raise nearly twenty thousand dollars. This would leave about twenty-three thousand dollars to be raised by taxation, from which will be de ducted the amount the old court house will bring at a sale, thus re ducing the amount to be raised by taxation. If the people of the county would prefer to issue bonds to budd the court house and a proper representation was made to the commissioners, they would no doubt give them an opportunity to vote for bonds, and thus relieve the necessity of raising the whole cost of the court house in two years. Bonds could be issued for the balance of the amount neces sary after paying the tax this fal 1 , if the tax payers of the county pre fer to pay for the court house in this way. JI'DGE I 111-: EOUCONOHISS. The last issue of the Calhoun Times contains the following com munication suggesting Judge A. ! W. Fite, of this city, the able judge of the superior court, for congress: j ‘ Editor Times: In a few months : we will have another political cam paign upon us and among other things we will be called upon to choose a congressman to represent this district. ‘‘Judge Maddox has held the of fice for many years and has made a good congressman. He is a clever man and my friend, but we have other able and valuable men in the district and it is nothing but fair to them to make a change oc casionally. I do not hesitate to say that Judge Maddox has ably reptesented our district, but at the j same time candor forces me to say j that he has represented it no bet | ter than others might have done, i “There is no abler and better 1 equipped man in the district for congress than Jugge A. W. Fite. | He is young, vigorous, broadly in -1 formed and in every way fitted for j a scat in the national congress, f ido not know whether Judge bite j will or will not run, but I do know ( that he would make an excellent o'c.-'sman and if he should run j Ail that the contributor to the j Times says about Judge Fite i true, aud more, too. Neither his probity nor his ability are to be questioned. The News aud Cou- rant does not know what the Judge’s intentions are, but if he should decide to enter the race he would make the contest an inter esting one. Sl—." s>.
