A Democratic caucus of the house
has declared that the income tax must
take its chances with the Wilson tar

fall together. It will stand, however.
Anew society has been gotten up
in Jacksonville, called The Law and
Order League. Tlmir purpose is to
punish the abettors and instigators of
the recent prize fight iu that city.
They have made cases against the prin
cipals, Corbett and Mitchell, and will
prosecute them to the full extent of
the law,
For the first time in the history of
both papers, the Constitution and
Journal favor the same candidate for
gover ior. Whether this means there
is “sugar in the gourd,’’ or is a sure
sigu of defeat for their man, remains
io be seen. One thing is certain, its
very, very, strange, and they’re not in
the habit of doing these things simply
*or tun, you know.
Corbett and Sullivan are two of the
best men in the world, physically, which
show* that we have the most eonfenial
environment# the world can afford to de
velop human powers, and physical supe
riority makes mental giants, possibly,
and as an evidence that we have them in
our midst, we respectfully refer you to
the editors of the weekly papers through
out the state. Why, they even rise so
far above themselves as to exclaim in un
selfish style: “We would advise the far
mers to plant corn in the spring and
sow wheat, turnips, and other vegetables
in the fall.”
Cummings, congressman from New
York, proposes a bond issue iu de
nominations of twenty dollars, to be
sold to the people at the money order
postoffices. The bonds to bear inter
est at the rate of 3 per cent, and to be
redeemable at the pleasure of the gov
ernment after ten years. This would
be issuing money as directly to the
people as could bs doue. The bonds
would be absolutely safe, but men iu
this county are used to getting more
than 3 per cent, and we don't know
w hether the people would buy the
bonds or not.
There are some papers and people
in Georgia, claim ng to be Democrat

way to fight the administratou. They
pervert its utterances and purposely
misconstrue its acts. To all purposes
they are republican. It would be
more straightforward in them to join
the republican party.—Eatonton

OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.
For ‘.he information of those interested
in the gubernatorial contest, our Junior,
on Tuesday of this week, polled 100 citi
zens of Jackson, for the purpose of find
ing out how they stood in the race for
governor. The poltw as entirely impartial
to either side, the men were asked as
we came to them,' and no preference was
shown either party. The Aegus is for the
best man in this scramble for office, and
as we know nothing personal of General
Avan*, and a great deal less of Colonel
Atkinson, it is reasonable to suppose that
our views iu the matter are entirely im
partial, and if it was left with us, we feel
no hesitancy in saying the next governor
of Georgia would bs a man with whom
we are more fully acquainted. Yet, be
yond all reasons ©f a doubt either of the
present candidates is capable of filling the
office in & satisfactory manner, with jus
tice to all concerned, and though the
Abocs has never yet committed it*-eif for
either, we shall abide by the nomination
and exert our influence in favor of the
nominee.
Out of the 100 citizens polled, we found
58 for AtkiDson, 32 for Evans, and 10 non
committal. And duiing our round it was
very suggestive from the answers given,
that the young democracy is for yltkiuson,
heart and soul, while the older democrats
are for Avans, teeth and toe nail. I low
it stands out ride of Jackson we are not
able to state, but from a conversational
point of view, we find that Gen, Evans
has a strong following among the Confed
erate soldiers of this section, and while
hi* war record may have a tendency to
give him numerous votes iu our county,
the gentlemanly qualities and intellectual
powers of his opponent, coupled with the
valiant services he has rendered to the
democratic party during Ibe past few
years wiil no doubt balance up accounts
with the General, and it will take a per
sou who is better versed in matkematic s
than ourselves, to figure up who will come
out victor in the end. IFe feel justified
in saying, however, that Georgia has the
best gubernatorial timber in this contest
that has ever been offered for office on a
similar occasion, and the friends of the
defeated shall have a consolation of know -
ing that as good a man was voted down
as was ever pe:c’jed upon the judgment
seat of justice 1
NORTHEN ASA GENERAL.
On Wednesday night last, at an
hour when gi aye-yards yawn and the
lonely owl hoots his loudest, when
living humanity was peacefully slum
bering ia gentle repose, and little
dreaming of the tumuUuous outbreak
that was hourly threatening our law
abiding and dignified state, our Gov
ernor might have been seen wending
bis way through the swarnps and
sterilo fields of Southern Georgia,
dishonoring the soil of our state by
surrounded by as “squerry” a band
of warriors as was ever called together
for the purpose of quelling a slugging
match.
The governor’s corning was not
heralded by the booming of cannon
nor aD extensive display of fireworks
but he was there, just the same, can
non or no cannon, and his objective
point was to put a quietus to Corbett
and Mitchell forever deiatning and
having a slugging match upon it.
All nightlong and part of the next
day, did the vigilant governor sur
rounded by his band of warriors, anx*
ously await the coming of those noted
pugilists, but did they come? Nixey!
Did they have any idea of coming?
Nixey ! Do you suppose that they
could haye taken out a search warrant
and found the governer clown in
those cane brakes, surrounded by his
brave and couitly warriors, if they
had taken a notion to come over?
Nixey ! But true to his duty, through
l unger and thirst, he sat and counted
the hours, only relinquishing his vig
ilance to adjust the spyglass that he
might more fully inspect the sur.
roundings and get a mere extensive
view of the situation ? Little did he
dream that while his couriers were
flying hither and yon transporting
orders, ammunition, and rations, that
Corbett was pounding Mitchell into a
jelly right iu the heartof Jacksonville 1
But hark! a messenger approaches
bearing with him the glad intelligence
that our country is saved ! II a I Ila!
they have fought! Victory isour.i!
And the governor’s long and tedious
wait, was only excelled by the quick
manner in which lie marshalled bis
warriors and returned to Atlanta !
Notice —This one act of service for
the Georgia militia has amply repaid
the last legislature for not voting
them enough money to loaf around
during encampment as guests of the
state. And Governor William J.
Northen is covered all over with
glory !
A rooster fight has been arranged
for up in Timbuctoo, just above north
Rome. Governor Northen, however,
has been notified, and has got the po
lice and a posse of white caps guard
ing the Possum Trot rangers until his
arrival. Our war governor proposes
to lead the charge and suppress the
rebellion.— Hostler ot Rome.

GOLD-BUG FINANCEERING.
J. R. Randall, in one of his ad
mirable Washington letters to the
Augusta Herald, giv*s the follow
ing insight into the financial condi
tion of the country and the methods
by which it has been reached.
The financial committee of the
senate does not fancy Secretary
Carlisle’s attempt to saddle upon i*s
responsibility f >r the present condi
tion of the treasury. The senate
does not originate bills and has to
wait for the house. Besides this, if
the secretary is at last determined
to issue bonds, lie had the same
right to do so last spring that he
has now. The fact is the president
and secretary miscalculate the ex
tent of the deficit. Asa practical
man says : “These gentlemen had
a theory. They thought that the
repeal of the purchasing clause of
the silver law would reyive business.
They wore absolutely mistaken,
i l.e results show what little concep
tion the administration has of its
operations as aflecting the busi
ness interest of the country. It
was certain that they did notappre
ciate last spring, that their action
would precipitate a panic. They
did not recognize the fact that the
repeat of the Sherman law had little
or nothing to do with that disaster
or the ruin which followed it. They
thought business would recover
and the treasury receipts would ex
ceed the expenditure now instead
of running $184,000,000 behind in
January and February as Mr. Car
lisle now officially estimates.’’
I may as well state, in passing,
that the above statement is deliber
ately made by a “goldbug,” whose
candor is proverbial.
Of course, the republicans attrib
ute present stagnation to tariff ag
itation. You mav perhaps remem
ber that during the silver debate, I
wrote to you that when the republi
cans helped to put the country on
a gold standard, they would wheel
around, repudiate the idea that the
silver purchases had caused the
panic, and settle upon tariff changes
as the cause of continued disaster.
This is exactly what they are doing
now. And now “where are we at?’*
We are on a gold basis fnd for the
first time since Buchanan’s presi
dency, about to issue bonds to pay
the ordinary expenses of one of the
richest and most enterprising
countries in the world. Tf this is a
favorable position to go before the
country, at the ballot box, next No
vember, I tail to see P, lam
bound to say that my apprehension
is shared by only too many demo
crats.
A DReAM.
We ate rather heartily, retired early
and dreamed that the populist had
been victorious in national affairs,
and we saw wagons drive up and un
load cotton, corn, and non perishable
crops generally, and draw their money
from the government warehouse.
The money was in large sheets like
postage stamps, all perforated, but
minus glue. The officer, or one of his
clerk®, would tear off the right num
ber and give it to the farmer, and he
would give it to the merchant for his
note, and the merchant would return
it lo the savings bank, whose clerk
would cancel it like a post master
docs his stamp, and give the mer
chant a bond to honor his demand
whenever presented. And the farmer
who owed it all, would go home like
he does now, and the one who did not
would get a bond for it. It had to be
canceled, and we wondered what was
the difference to the tanners.
There was only one place to weigh
and no man asked the price of cotton,
which was fixed by tne government,
and all got the same price. One or
two merchants agreed to take cotton
for what was due them, and they
were immediately arrested as counter
feiters and put in the penitentiary
with Redwine. Early iu the spring
the president wroteto the queen of
England : “I have 7,000,000 bales of
cotton to furnish you for your people,
whenever you will name a satisfactory
price.”
The poor in England were all idle
and starving. The next fall all of the
crop was on hand and cotton went to
three ceuts a pound, aud so the poor
of both ceuutries suffered while tbt
two nations quarreled. JBut how
happy we were when we awoke and
found ourselves in a country where
competition is legitimate and personal
rights are respected. No paternalism
in ours. Give uh -The land of the free
and the home of the brave.”
Judge J. D. Stewart died at his home
in Griffin, on the 23th of last menfcb.
Judge Stewart was well known through
out this entire state, and was a man rec-
all who knew him as one
worthy of their admiration. In addition
to his services as law maker, he was a
great light in the Baptist church, of
which he was a member aud a leading
minister. He rose from poverty and ob
scurity to a high place amoDg our emi
nent men, and oould have secured any
office within the power of our people to
bestow upon him.
