Tiic Macon Telegraph on Monday
ooulaiued thy fallowing iuteres.ing
article from its Atlanta correspond¬
ent :
Some high old scheming and log
rolling is going on in the general as¬
sembly, and when the purport of it. is
known it will likely bring every Geor¬
gia congressman loping to Atlanta to
look out after his individual interests,
It is a new scheme so far as Georgia
politics is coucerued, and the taeu who
are working it, if they succeed, will
revolutionise the politics of the state
and leave at least three of the present
congressmen at home next year, jf not
live of them. ;
The plan is in tli,o rqdistrictipg of
the slate 10 double up the congress¬
men. To illustrate. It is proposed to
put Congressman Jim Griggs of the
Second and Lige Lewis of the Third
in the same district, Charles Adamson
of the Fourth and John Maddox of the
Seventh in the same district, and
Livingston of the Fifth and Howard of
the Eighth in the same district.
From information obtained to-day
that seems to be about as far as the
scheme has been worked out so far,
but the boys are still at work, and two
more of the present congressmen may
be pitted against each other.
In tnis plan one of the districts will
be practically undisturbed, except the
dropping off of a county hero and the
putting on of another there. It seems
now that the tenth will be the odd dis¬
trict. In other words Fleming jydl
not have to tight one of the ins, as the
plan is in the other districts,, but will
have to defend his'seat against Hard¬
wick, one of the outs.
In this bold rearrangement Lester
the First and Brantley of the
will probably be put in the
though this part of the scheme
not yet been worked out.
From the quiet talk caught on the
fly to-day it seems fully developed
Livingston must fight Howard,
and Lewis must have it out, and
amson and Mattox must goro
other in the Seventh.
This arrangement, if it doesn’t
deranged puts Livingston in the
Eighth by taking off Rockdale, Newton
and Walton from the Fifth and putting
them in the Eighth, thereby giving the
outs a showing in the Fifth.
Terrell, Randolph, Clay and Quit
man are to be put in the Third, thus
putting Griggs in Lewis’ district and
leaviug the Second for the outs.
Glynn is to gQ in the First, leaving
the Eleventh for the outs.
The Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Sixth
are what is bothering the boys, and
the plans may be changed.
The scheme is to put Livingston out
of the Fifth, the only question being
whether to put him in tho Eighth or
in Carter Tate’s district, the nintn. If
this is done cither Richmond or Bibb
would go to the eighth, but it is not
thought either Richmond or Bibb will
be disturbed.
Then again the scheme may stop
light wheie it is, that is to double up
in Lester and Brantley, Griggs and
Lewis, Anamson and Mattox and Liv
iugslon and Howard or Tate. Fiom
the talk to-day the last three seems to
be the plan fully determined upon.
The others will he arranged later, and
it may be that they may not be doub¬
led up because of tho peculiar lay of
ihe counties.
The plan, however, is to double
them all up if possible, and there is
much legislative brain-racking going
on to accomplish this that purpose.
All has been the result of abed
room log-rolling for the past few days,
ihe members from one section meet¬
ing in groups in rooms up town wiih
those way* of another, and discussing the
best to give the outs a chance.
The scheme is certainly novel and
will create no end of talk. With the
ins it would he a survival of the fittest
and with the outs the man with the
longest pole. t 1
Next year promises a very interest¬
ing campaign indeed.

purposes of the court of inquiry two
rear admirals and a number of other
officers, not to mention a cruiser and a
collier, have been ordered to the scene,

The annual conference of the A.
M. E. Church, recently in session at
Thomasville, has returned Rev. J. U.
Hall a pastor of the colored Methodist
church here, and Rev. Smith is returned
to the Lowell circuit. Both are earn¬
est, workers in their efforts for the
spiritual and moral welfare of their
race, and besides their respective docks
they have many white friends who
welcome their return. Rev. Charley
McLendon, who recently joined the
conference, was sent 10 a charge near
Thomasville. There being mope
preachers than -churches, Madison
Bolden, who applied for license, did not
get. a church, but was ordained an ex
horter.

Th : rounij commissioners have been
petitioned to open anew road to run
from Fort Gaines along the banks of
the river via the old site of the Belus
Prescott warehouse and intersect
with the Fort Gaines and Blakely, road
about Neaves’ null. Such a change
would shorten the route from here to
Blakely several miles, and at the same
time avoid several hills on the old
road. It would be of much advantage
to the traveling public generally aud
quite a benefit 1 1 the town. By all
