Blotmt: Another well-seasoned ami mag nificent watch-dog on behalf of pub lic interest is James.II. Blount, oi Georgia, and he is as b'icuat as the pronunciation of his name. He is both broad-shouldered and broad beaded. In looks and disposition there is much of the bulldog about him. He has an. honest bark—one that attracts the attention of the House. Up to ail the tricks and traps oi'le^ialaf.ion. bo is never mis leading in his cry. He winds a job as if by intuition. His suspicion 4 )nec aroused be promptly show? bis iteet’n. When his fangs are fastened j upon the corrupt measure ho never weakens bis hold until he has shaken til© life out of it. Ho fights without fear or favor. T'ho warmest person al friends cannot swerve'-him from the Hue of duty. Tho Huguenot map coax and thr Puritan threaten him, but the bravo old d<»g will bay defiance to both. Mr. Blount has thick gray hair and a smooth shaven face. His face indicates true Gcor-. Eo is born, and has Georgia manners, a Georgia ac cent and Georgia ideas. His eyes are blue and his face full and io dised to sallow ness. He speaks deliberately and with a somewhat thickened enunciation, lie wears no cuffs and never becomes thorough ly aroused until he palls down his wristbands. There is no posing for effect., Tie never tries to adorn his aemxmeca y H'b fip^CCuuS\ir<o r>( l cake H vY 1 rnTtllt? fHVf't oiotal. He deals directly with facts, and always has the figures to sus tain them. An adept in parliament ary law, ho is frequently called to the chair. As a presiding officer he is pre-emine ntly co n sow ativ e, You will never get a decision from him upon any abstract point of or der until he has thoroughly exam ined tho julett. Ho wears steel framed spectacles, but never wears them when addoeasing the House. Mr. Blount has been a congressman sixteen consecutive years. Ho enjoys next to the shortest biography in tho Congressional Directory. It does not in form its readers Hat its subject was a brave and efficient soldier in the Confederate army. He seems to fill the ideal of his constituents* His claims miomina lion and re-election are never con vested. .No one apparently dreams of voting against him. Hot'.no in twenty turns out to vote when he is in the field as everybody ackr.owl Macon district, lie honors people who honor him. Long may his bark echo in the lobbies of tao eapitol. -Macon J mcgr.p.n A L’HOCLAMATI (HL to the FAHMfirs ALrrAN'CE by CUAIHAIAN MCJ5AXIEL AJil) I’HESIDENI HV#xaSTON. TVhereas, _ r , hi ,, Hon K. T .
