MT.ITi: ORU*KIZTIO!f.
In our last issue we Usd occasion to ad
vert to the movement* being inaugurated
with a view to the Presidential nomina
tions at Chicago and Cincinnati in June
next. We this week present in another
column the address of lion. Geo. N. Les
ter, Chairman of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, to meet in Atlanta
the .10th instant. Tht object of the meet
ing is to prepare for thorough organization
for the approaching political campaign.
The meeting is an important one, and
all the members ought to attend, if prac
ticable. Such meetings ought to be held
in such a way as to leave no room for
plausible criticism. Col. Lester very
properly inveighs against proxies. 11 e
think the suggestion timely and properly
given. It is high time that thorongh or
ganization be made. Hy thorough and
timely organization Georgia was elevated
politically to the proud position which she
occupies, and in order to retain it she must
pursue the same course. We do not mean
partial organization—w e mean an organi
zation with such machinery and system of
action as to subsefve the wishes of the
people, and not to thwart them. The cry
ia often raised that a few rule. This must
not be given plausibility. Everyth ng
should be done fairly and openly, and the
voice of the people be regarded. I nder
such a system organization will mean vic
tory. and continued political prosperity.

In view of the vast importance of the
present year, politically speaking, the peo
ple generally are manifesting a small de
gree of interest. We are very much averse
to the fierce ami bitter contosts that often
characterize political campaigns, and in
this view of the matter, the strong efforts
that the people are making to make this a
prosperous year agriculturally, even to the
great neglect of politics, has a great deal
in it worthy of the highest approval. But
w hile this is true, the selection ot wise ru
lers to discharge the duties of office is a
matter that cannot be too vigilantly guard
ed and protected. The time is rapidly ap
proaching when the people of this country
will be called upon to speak their sover
eign will through the ballot box m the se
lection of otTicers from President down.
While we would not urge our people into
politics, sufficient interest should he taken
in this matter to not leave the choice of offi
cials to s few, but the great masses should
make their preference known and demand
that it be respected. This thing of letting
matters drift along is not a safe plan. The
people should sec to it that good and up
right men are chosen to (ill all the positions
Of trust which they will be called upon to
fill. In all instances let men he chosen
that will honor the great titate that they
serve, as well as the people who honor
them with the positions of trust.
JI'RT rRRESiTMKTn.
Wc this week present to our renders the
presentments of the Grand Jury at the
term of Court just closed. The Grand
Jury was composed of intelligent men.
and they discharged their duties in a fair,
intelligent and aide manner. Wo congrat
ulate our county on account of its grow
ing prosperity. We think that the Grand
Jury did wisely in recommending the court
room of the courthouse ceiled in lieu of
overhead plastering, and the repairing of
the veranda. We regret that the Grand
Jury did not deem the enclosing of the
courthouse of sufficient pressing impor
tance as to recommend at least a siuali ap
propriation therefor. Of course the only
interest wo feel in this subject is that in
common with our fellow-citizens, and we
accept the action of the Grand Jury
cheerfully, believing that they considered
the matter not of sufficient importance to
expend any money for that purpose at this
time. Wc still believe, however, that the
amount of money that would be required
to place a substantial enclosure around the
courthouse would be wisely invested, and
that time will demonstrate the necessity
for it. We trust that this necessity will
be demonstrated to the satisfaction of our
people before it is too laic to protect the
line grove in the public square.

With regard to the confirmation of Sim
mons as Supervisor of the census in the
Fifth District, the press or the Stntc had a
great deal more to say than would have
aceined necessary in view of the insignifi
cance of Siminons, the principal party di
rectly interested. Rut the press and the
public generally had a great deal to say
on account of the political dimensions the
apparently insignificant question assumed.
In this view of the matter, it will be noted
with approval that the Senate m executive
session a few da).' since rejected the nom
ination of Simmons by a vote of twenty
nine to ten. Senator Ilill concluded the
argument in favor of Simmons and Senator
Gordon against. As Simmons was the pet
of Dr. Felton, the result is quite a victory
for Senator Gordon over Feltonism.

Some old papers caught tire in the State

Things have been going a little too much
according to Hoyle in Fulton. Samuel K.
Hoyle, tax-collector, hating made way
with 130.000 for the State and county.
A telegram from tha Chief of Police of
San Francisco has bceu received, stating
that Hoyle had been nabbed in that city,
and would be turned over to the Georgia
authorities upon application, ft Is thought
Hoyle's aecurities can evade responsibility.
Atlanta Phonograph : If Governor Col
quitt desires to immortalize himself, he
should pardon Satn Hill. The lnw says he
is guilty, but all lovers of domestic purity
and happiness believe him innocent.
The Phonograph is eminently correct,
and we would rejoice to know that our
good Governor had done so good an act
before stepping down and out.
The Atlanta Phonograph makes the
mistake of crediting an editorial on the
Sam Hill case, which we clipped from the
Cartersvillc Express, to us. It was a good
editorial, and we can stand it—if the Ex
press can.

North (ieorgian: General L. J. Gar
trell, of Atlanta, passed up the Air-Line
last Sunday night, to attend Hart Superior
Court. The General is onr first choice for
the Gubernatorial nomination, and ho has
a large following for the position all over
the State. 110 is competent, honest and
trustworthy, and therefore would give gen
eral satisiaction to our people.
A colorcd.man in Baltimore last week
who is about to be tried for murder, was
informed that the recent Supreme Court
decision gave him tho “ inalienable right ”
to have a jury composed of colored men.
lie thtreupon declared that ho “did not
want to be tried by a colored jury, because
his chances were better with a white jury,
and he wasn't going to he made a catspaw
of and for law to be practiced on him.”
lie continued to reiterate his desire to be
tried hy “an intelligent white jury.”
An Atlanta correspondent of the Au
gusta Evening News writes: General
Toombs has run another man away from
Georgia. Mr. J. 11. lias)in, of New York,
who was here for his first time, walked up
to General Toombs, in the Kimball House,
the other night, and. introducing himself,
said that lie was glad to meet him. Gen-
eral Toombs replied, “ Well, I'iu not glad
ito meet j'ou !" They had a long eon versa
-1 tion. in the course of which the General
told him that he was a tramp, and that he
would give him a hundred dollars to leave
thocountry and not come back. The gen
tleman left the next morning at 5:30 o'-
clock.
Old and young, rich and poor, all unite
in testifying to the true merit of Dr.

Atlanta Constitution : The fertilizer
trade shows that the people of the South
arc again cotton crazy. From circulars
sent to every county in South Carolina, the
Charleston News and Courier has received
information to the effect that “ the nmount
already sold in the State fur exceeds the
amount sold up to this time last year, and
is almost if not quite as great as was sold
the whole of last season. The amount in
the hands of agents is very small indeed,
the supplies of many kinds being entirely
run out. and the supply nowhere being
j equal to the demand." This k iml of news
should serve as a warning to the people of
upper Georgia, where the preparations for
new crops are not far advanced. It this
section of the State will give its chief at
tention to the production of supplies, it
| will assuredly come out at the end of the
new crop year with full pockets and light
hearts. The rest of the South is beside it
-1 self on the subject of cotton planting, and
that is the very reason why upper Georgia
should stick to corn and other supplies.
A G*ol Housewife.
The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring rennovating, should
hear in mind that the dear ininnics of her
house are more precious than many houses
and that their systems need cleansing bv
purifying the blood, regulating the stomach
and bowels to prevent and cure the diseas
es arising from spring miasma, and she
must know that there is nothing that will
do it so perfectly and surely as Hop Hit
ters, the purest and best of medicines. See
