Kobekt N. Hall, of Georgia, has been appointed a principal examiner ot land claims and contest, at a $2,000 salary. The hottest of the present political battle is witnessed in Indiana, where both parties have a fighting chance, and are making all they can out of it. Mu John Inman has just scooped the Georgia Central Railroad system, which, added to the Richmond Terminal Com pany's 1 files, makes 8,000 miles under his control. The Michigan man who was convicted of marrying thirty-three wives in five years, doubtless feels lonesome at the thoughts of being shut up in prison five years without any wife at all. The Lexington (Ky.) Transcript re ports Rev. Sam Small, who lias been traveling through Michigan and Wiscon sin, as saying that he believes these two States will go Democratic in November. # The loss by the warehouse fire in Bos ton on Saturday was about $70,000, the heaviest single loser being the Standard Cordage Company on rope and raw ma terials, $50,000; insured to nearly full value. . The whole number of special pension bills that have come to the president since March 4th, 1885, to the close of the session just ended is 1.821. of which 1,0t>7 have become laws and 254 been disap proved. Tn hue seems to be an epidemic of ’‘shortage'’ prevailing. X. F. Forbes, bookkeeper in the Gate City Bank, of At lanta, is short SBOO. and John A. Swan, ex-County Trustee of Knoxville,j Teun., is short $25,000. The yellow fever at Jacksonville, Fla., is slowly ebbing out. Yesterday's report was 33 new cases and one death. Bishop Weed is among the new cases. Total number <>♦ eases to date, 3,8 <2, total deaths 333 An investigation shows Tax Collector Wilson, of Atlanta, to he about $33,000 behind in his accounts. He has been suspended, and H. A. Boynton appoint ed in his place. Mr. Wilson thinks there is some mis eke, and that it will be satis factorily cleared up. Coi.. It. M. Pelsifer, of the Boston Herald, and president of the Marietta and North Georgia Bail road Company, committed suicide at his summer resi dence near Boston last Sunday. He is supposed to have been crazed by business cares and financial embarrassment. The fight among the warring Demo cratic factions in New York city waxes hotter, and there is now no hope of con ciliation. But the party managers con fidently claim that they will all go solidly for Cleveland, and give him the State by a fair majority. Of course the Republi cans claim the State too. = — = The progressive and plucky little city of Tallapoosa, Ga., had the misfortune to lose her new glass works by fire last week. Of course she is going right ahead rebuilding, and proposes to double the capacity of the plant. Tallapoosa is the lirest town of her size in the whole South, and is being rapidly built up, mainly by Northern people. The treasury has bought nearly SIOO.- 000,000 of bonds at a high premium, before they were due, since last April, and yet Gen. Harrison accuses the ad ministration of nursing the surplus, that the country may be frightened by its porteiitious size.—Macon Telegraph. TunChineseexclusion bib is not w ithout its humorous effects, although to the victims they are anything but funny* The wife ot a rich* Chinese merchant in San Francisco was on the ocean when the bill was passed, and on the voyage gave birth to a child. The customs officers at San Francisco refuse to permit the infant to be landed. This seems too hard, but there is no remedy. The State Fair is postponed to No vember. The Columbus dates from No vember 15th to December Ist, and Au gusta dates are from November Bth to December 17th inclusive. Augusta, though just having incurred a million dollars loss by the Savannah river over flowing, has voted $200,000 special tax for repairs, and has also sent nearly SI,OOO to the Jacksonville yellow fever sufferers. Governor Lee, in a speech made at Staunton, Ya., said that the excess of the Federal troops over the Confederate forces in the several battles named was as follows: In the seven days around Richmond 14,238, at the second battle of Manassas 25,501, at Sharpsburg 51,007, at Fredericksburg 21,772, at Chancellorsville 75,000, at Gettysburg 43,000, and in the campaign from the Wilderness to Petersburg 77,170. Congress adjourned last Saturday, after being in session 321 days, the longest seesion on record. Of’ course about one-third of the time was wasted in political maneuvering for party pur poses. Theconstitutioii should certainly be amended so that neither house could sit without a quorum. This way of having two-thirds of the members scat tered over the country, making political speeches, while a handful goes through the form of meeting and adjourning, is simply ridiculous. A new source of immigration promises to open to North Georgia, if the number of letters which we are receiving from Florida people, seeking information of this section, have any force in them. These parties do not give the fever scare as an excuse for leaving that State, but admit their mistake in settling where the modes of farming, and the character of products are so different from what they have been accustomed to. They can look to no better country than North Geor gia, where the greatest possible diversity of farming rewards the labor of man. HAVE YOUII TICKETS RIGHT. It is very important that the tickets for the Presidential election should be correct in every particular. We have seen several forms of the Democratic ticket in this State, but most of them are incorrect in some particular. We are confident that the following ticket is absolutely correct, and that it may be safely used ns a guide in the printing of ballots in this district: NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET. For President: Grover Cleveland, ot New York. For Vice-President: . Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio. For Electors-at-Large: Tlios. E. Watson, of McDuffie. John T. Graves, of Floyd. For District Electors: 1. .Tames A. Brannen, of Emanuel. 2. Augustus L. Hawks, of Decatur. 3. Thomas B. Felder, Jr., of Laurens. 4. James M. Mobley, of Harris. 5. James A. Gray, of Fulton. 0. Bobley D. Smith, of Crawford. 7. M’Connell J. Johnson, of Bartow. 8. John T. Jordon, of Hancock. i). Howard W, Newman, of Cherokee. 10. E. Howard Callaway, of Burke, - FOR CONGRESS, 7TH DISTRICT, GEORGIA: Judson C. Clements. Remember the election will occur Tues day, Nov. 6, two weeks from next Tues day. Georgia ought not to send up a small aud scattering vote for the Dem ocratic ticket on that day. The people should turn out in every militia district and give Cleveland and Thurman a rous ing vote. Seventy-five thousand majority is what we want in Georgia. Nothing less will be worthy of the prestige of this State as the leader of Southern Democracy. Vote and see that your neighbor votes. THE JiONDS PLACED. While Wall street is devoting much of its attention to live Southern enterprises, London is likewise looking to that field, and English investors are showing sub stantial faith in the good railroad prop erties of the new South. A large bond sale just perfected by the Marietta A North Georgia Railway Com pany in London is the latest evidence of the fact. Mr. George It. Eager, general manager of the Marietta A North Geor gia lias received a cablegram informing him that the foreign financial agents of his company, Messrs. S. J. Hambro Sc Sons, London bankers, had succeeded in placing all the bonds which lie recently put in their hands for sale. The bonds held by Hambro Sc Sons were all allowed to be sold to the entire amount necessary to complete the road between Atlanta and Knoxville and insure the finishing of the through line with all possible dis patch. The price at which the London bankers sold the bonds was par. The success of the negotiation lias made considerable talk 011 Wall street and will, no doubt, direct anew attention to the property that may soon make it a factor in the big deals now pending in Southern railroads. James F. Jackson, vice-president of the road, was asked about the London deal. He reiterated all that Mr. Eager had said, and spoke with enthusiasm of the prospects of the road. A LIVE CANDIDATE. Gus. Fite is a worker, and when he wants an office, he is going to let the Legislature know it. We have before us a neat folder, giving the list of the judi cial circuits, and the candidates for judge and solicitor. On the last page of it is the following: TO THE GENERAL GEORGIA: We, the undersigned Senators and Representatives from tlie Cherokee judi cial circuit, heartily endorse the Hon. A. W. Fite, of Bartow county; for Solicitor- General of said circuit, and earnestly ask his.election. SENATORS. J. W. Harris, Jr., Forty-second District. J. B.

I also have the support of a majority of the bar of the circuit. Very respectfully, A. W. Fite. ON E DOLL .K Appreciating the liberal patronage bestowed upon The Courant-Ame rican by the people of Bartow and surrounding counties, we have determined to reduce the subscription price of the paper to $1 OO A YEAH, strictly in advance.
