The North Georgia Conference of the

We hope the disgusting scones of the
late judicial elections —and some of their
unfortunate results —will not fade from
the, memory of our legislators before
any steps are taken to correct the grow
ing evil by changing the mode of select
ing judges and solicitors.
Charlie Echols, of Covington, charged
with the murder of Thomas and Cohen,
had his preliminary trial last week, and
was committed to jail to await trial by
Superior court. Cohen is still alive and
improving, and it is supposed he has
already said things that make it dark
for Echols.
We can’t bear fawning and boot-lick
ing, but there’s no use throwing vitriol
in the eyes ol Gen. Harrison because he
beat us. Independence and manliness is
not made manifest by bluster and black
guardism. A few —very few —of our
Georgia brethren are rendering them
selves ridiculous by their so-called fore
cast of Harrison's Southern policy.
The St. Louis Globe and Chicago
Tribune deserve the censure of all fair
minded men of all sections for their infa
mous attempts to renew race prejudices
in the South, arid rekindle the smoulder
ing embers of sectionalism. They are
evidently opening up old barrels of lies
that had served their purpose in more
exciting times and been snowed under by
indisputable refutation.
There is one thing for which the good
people of this city should be thankful;
Since prohibition went into effect, not a
single man who was in the liquor busi
ness in this city has vioiated the law.
Every one of them has proven loyal to
the result of the prohibition election, and
lias so faithfully abided it that not even
the faintest suspicion has rested against
them. What other city in all the* land
can boast such a record?—Rome Herald.
The Maine men seem to think that
Mr. Blaine wants to be Secretary of
State in the next cabinet very much
indeed. They all want it for him. They
say that Gen. Harrison has been inform
ed of their desires, but they admit that
lie has received no intimation as yet
from Gen. Harrison. However, they
console themselves with the fond belief
that Gen. Harrison cannot affor.d not
to appoint Mr. Blaine, now that he
knows Blaine wants the place.
The Evening Herald, of Rome, Ga., is
one of our most valued exchanges. It
sensibly fills the field there for an even
ing journal—catching up the passing
events of the day, and placing them
before its readers in an easy, graphic
style that renders it alway’s attractive.
When Bro. Martin touches deep subjects
editorially, he evinces thorough acquain
tance with the subject in hand. The
Herald reflects credit upon its live pub
lishers and is a paper that Rome should
liberally support.
The following are votes of the States
named for President, according to the
official count: South Carolina—-Cleve
land (55,825, Harrison 13,740—Demo
cratic majority 52,085; Connecticut
Cleveland 74,920, Harrison 74,684, Fiske
4,284, labor 540—Cleveland’s plurality
336; Virginia —Cleveland 151,977, Har
rison 150,442—Cleveland's majority
1,535. We are strengthened in our be
lief that Cleveland and tariff reform re
ceived a plurality of tiie popular vote of
the United States.
Gen. Harrison may not have decided
what course he is going to pursue with
regard to the South, but he has decided
what he is going to do about going to
church on Sundays. He doesn’t propose
to have a crowd rush to any particular
church to see him, so he has concluded to
rent pews in several churches, and nobody
will know where he is going to worship.
All ot the churches in which he will rent
pews, however, will be Presbyterian. The
General is said to be a firm believer in
predestination, and probably ho would
stoutly maintain that, no matter what
he did or said, he would have been nom
inated for President and elected.
Last Thursday was a big day at
Augusta. The Governors, Legislators,
etc., of this State and South Carolina
met there. The main attraction ot the
day was an oration by Henry W. Grady,
and it was about the best speech he has
yet made. It was a grand oration in
many respects —evincing not only the
outgushings of a true, patriotic heart,
but the deep thought of a philosopher
and the erudition of a well ba anced
statesman.
The New York Court of Appeals has
declared unconstitutional and void the
acts of the Legislature to annul the char
ters and franchises of Sharp’s Broadway
and Seventh avenue railroad in New York
City, and Sharp’s estates and the estate
of others engaged in buying and stealing
that splendid property from the Legisla
tvre and Aldermen, will by this adjudica
tion gain some millions of dollars. New
York courts send a forger of mortgages
to prison for a quarter of a century, re
lease an alderman from prison sent for
seven years for selling out the property
and rights of 2,000,000 people, and sus
tain the theft as good and sound in New
York law and policy, all within three
weeks. GreatisNew York law; and what
a moral people are New Yorkers !
MK. VICNABLE’S BILL.
Mr. Venable’s bill to amend the law
regulating fees lor legal advertising, so
as to leave the matter of this service
open to bids between different news
papers, is not a good bill —though in
troduced with the best intention. This
whole subject was thoroughly canvassed
before the present law was passed; and
tlie bill finally adopted has worked well.
The fees allowed now are reasonable
and just—as low as any well prepared
paper can afford —and it would prove to
the injury of estates if little second-class
papers without circulation should do
the work, even at half the present rates.
If the law takes a hand in this matter
at all —and we think it should—then the
line should be drawn at stated figures,
and all parties be governed thereby. Mr.
Venable’s law would only bring about
the old trouble and confusion, which the
present law was intended to remedy.
The bill should be permanetly tabled,.

President {'Fvrhi nil's niM.-.-nge was
read Monday. 1; is an aiiiiu! a. >* docu
ment —taking np and dealing v%. r ! i the
countn’s varied interests ia a clear,
business-like manner. It evinces the
fact that he possesses the courage of his
convictions, and that no reverses of
personal political fortunes can drive him
from a line of duty once conscientiously
marked out.
In a comprehensive and yet not bur
densome way the President points out
the dangers to be apprehended from
monopoly, reaffirms the necessity of
tariff reform, and urges congress to give
it- immediate attention to our fisheries
t on des. The other portions of the. mes
s' ige are in the nature of a review of the
i .‘Qpat course of the administration, and
a nummary of the reports from the vari
ous departments of the government.
There is no gush or fulminating filigree
about the document, but it covers all
the ground in a practical, business-like
way.
THE DEPARTMENT REPORTS.
Secretary Eudieott made his report to
the President of the administration of
the War Department during the fiscal
year ending June 30th last. Total ex
penditures were $41,165,107. The ap
propriations for the current fiscal year
amount to $59,679,934, and the esti
mates for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1890, aggregates44,632,so7, as follows:
Salaries and contingent expenses, sl,-
978,890; military establishment, support
of the army and the military academy,
$25,293,372; public works, including
river and harbor improvements. $13,-
785,234; miscellaneous objects, $3,575,-
010.
The estimates for river and harbor im
provement represent the probable cost of
such improvements, if approved by Con
gress.
The Secretary called attention to our
defenceless coasts, and concludes by re
commending the provision for an assist
ant Secretary of War.
Postmaster General Dickinson’s report
is a full review of that branch of the Gov
ernment pertaining to the mails. The
gross revenue for the year was $52,695,-
176. The total expenditures, inclusive
of liabilities for the year, unpaid, and
embracing Hie amount for transporta
tion of mails on the Pacific railroads, for
which the Government receives a credit,
were $56885,403. The estimated defi
ciency, therefore, is $4,190,227. The
total estimated gross receipts for the
year ending June3o,lßß9, are $57,392,-
576. The amount appropriated for the
service of this year, is $60,860,233, or an
excess over the amount of revenue esti
mated of $3,467,657, which will be drawn
from the general treasury should the
total jfmount be needed. The total es
timated gross receipts for the year ending
June 30, 1890, are $62,508,658. The
probable amount of the expenditure to
be made in carrying on the business of
the postal service for the year endiug
June 30/1890, as shown by estimates,
submitted to the Secretary of the Treas
ury, is $65,802,073. The deficiency to
be supplied from the general treasury is,
therefore, $3,334,145.
The total number of postoffices is 57,-
376, an increase over 1885 of 6,124.
The adjustment of July 1, 1888, estab
lished 97 offices of the first class, 497 of
the second class, and 1,908 of the third
class, making the total number of presi
dential offieec at the date last named of
2*502. The gross receipts of presidential
offices for the four quarters ending March
31.1888, show an increase of $3,322,826.
as compared with the adjustment of July
1, 1887.
During the past year 791 persons, of
ficials, employes of the department and
others, were arrested for various offenses
against the postal laws and regulations.

Bro. White gladdened the upper Grass
dale people by his presence. He gave us
one of his happiest talks, paid his whole
charge, a most glowing tribute, spoke
feelingly of the way in which he had been
received and treated and expressed him
self as having spent two of his happiest
years among us. I have never seen a
charge who regret more ‘to give up a
pastor. ‘He has made himself dear to all,
and no matter where his lot may be cast,
the prayers and good Wishes of this w hole
people will follow him.

On Wednesday night last, at a negro

and one Jim Henderson pulled out a
razor and went to work on All Wilson,
inffictingseveral slight cuts and one quite
severe on the arm, from which the blood
poured profusely. Dr. Griffin attended
to the wounds, and next morning he was
hauled to his home. I have heard of no
arrests as yet.

The Baptist church has recently ex
changed pastors. For two years Rev.
W. M. Dyer has labored with general ac
ceptance and proven himself a strong
doctrinal preacher, but on re-election a
few days ago, he declined to serve longer.
Rev. W. H. Cooper, of Cartersville, then
held a very successful meeting with the
church, assisted by Rev. G. S. Tumlin, of
Marietta. Fourteen have been baptised,
sixteen received by letter, and the church
and congregation greatly strengthened.
The church has now raised almost twice
as much for pastoral support as in any
past year of its history, and called Rev
Wm. Henry Strickland, of Atlanta, for
one Sunday in the month and Saturday
before. It is confidently expected that
he will accept. The church has a bright
future before it.

In Memory of Miss Emma Stocks.
“There is no deathh An angel form
Walks o'er the enrth with silent tread.
He bears our best loved thimrs away.
And then we t all them dead.”
“He leaves our hearts all desolate— *
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers
Transplinted Into bliss, th4y now
Adorn immortal bowers.”
Again has the “Angel with silent tread” borne
from our midst a member of our church and
Sunday school. Emma E. Stocks, eldest daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Stocks, died in Car
tersville Xov. 19th, 1888, aged 18 years. Of a
bright sunny nature, she met life’s trials bra vely,
and made herself a blessing to those around her.
How sadly she is missed from the home circle,
they who are left there only can tell. For al
most a year we have missed her from the Sunday
school, and often would come the message from
her, ”1 hope to be with vou soon,” but she will
meet us here no more, for God has willed other
wise. With a spirit chastened and sweetened by
suffering, she calmly yielded herself to her Savior,
and with the same sweet smile with which she
bade her loved ones good bye here, she will greet
them on a fairer shore.
Resolved by the First Baptist Sunday school.
First, That in the death of Emma Stocks we
have lost a faithful member. That while young
she gave her heart to Jesus, and she has not left
us without the assurance that she lias gained
the inheritance of all those who love and trust
Him.
Second, That as a Sunday school we cherish
her memory, and while we miss and mourn our
companion, we will pray God to sanctify this
affliction to His glory.
Third, That these resolutions be recorded on
our minute book. That a copy be sent the be
reaved lamily, and they be published in the
Courant-American.

Pay Your Tax and Yote.
A S I UNDERSTAND THE LAW, I AM
required to furnish the County Commis
sioners a list of the registered voters ten days
before the January election, which takes place
on the 2d day January, 1889. Therefore, I can
not register any names for that election after
the 22 and day of December. Young men who have
become of age, and old men who are not due any
tax should nave their names registered so they
can vote if they desire. This is a duty the law
requires me to perform, aud I hope the people
will feel interested enough to attend to the re
quirements of the law. I wish every legal voter
to exercise that privilege if he so desires, and if I
make mistakes I am always sorry when I find I
have done so.
Again, the Legislature last year passed an act
requiring tax collectors To issue two fl. fa’s,
against persons due poll and property tax, and
while I can see no good reason for the law, I have
no discretion in the matter, but must comply
with the law. Respeetiully,
J. F. LINN, Tax Collector,
