JEFFERSON,
l Riau noirno, nnn-h i, ixm.
Ix>ts of the brainy and prominent men of
the country arc parsing over the dark river.
Dr. Felton's last act as a Consressman
vras to put through the bill making Atlanta
a port of entry.
Atlanta has struck a big moral streak, as
> is evidenced hj* the late raid of the police on a
1 theatrical troupe and the ordinance about
gambling.
The Ba-ptinl Banner js up on its legs again.
An<l is out in a half sheet this week. It got
caught like wc did by trying to run a news
paper on credit.
Col. Cash, who killed Col. Shannon in a
duel last summer, in S.C.. has just been tried
for the offense. The jury failed to agree,
which amounts almost to an acquittal.
1 lie newspapers arc talking about cx-Gov.
Bullock's cabinet chances. It strikes us that
they arc rather slim. But if we were in
\\ ashington City to-day we could tell more
about it.
I he Athens* Daily Danner lias been enlarged
as we have remarked before, Bro. Waterman
is making a noble ofloxt to supply the citizens
of Athens with a good daily paper. llis
success will depend largely upon the support
he gets from her citizens.
Some of our exchanges arc engaged in
making a gulternatorial boom in this State
for ex Gov. Bullock. Well, lie would make
a good Republican Govenor, but it strikes us
that the Democratic part}’ ought to make a
selection out of their own ranks.
The legal proceedings so far have failed to
collect the interest, that ex Treasurer Renfroc
is due the State. The case before the Supreme
Court lias just been decided in Ren fro O’s
favor. But the Court intimated the possibility
of getting the money in another way.
To-day President elect Garfield will be
sworn in as President of this great and glo
rious republic. The occasion will he made
an opportunity for a grand civic and military
display. From all parts of the country peo
ple have assembled in Washington C’ty to
behold the imposing spectacle and take in
the sights.
Those Democrats who, at the heel of the
session, stay away from the House, thus
causing the lack of a quorum and prevent the
passage of the Apportionment bill by a Dem
ocratic Congress, should be elected to stay at
homo altogether next time. —Augusta Chron
icle and Constitutionalist. We are of the
name opinion, and want to see the rule en
forced.
We venture the assertion that all of the
Georgia railroads are opposed to the railroad
Commission, and while the most of them
seemingly acquiesce to the regulations of the
Commission, yet they are all bent and
•determined to abolish the law establishing the
Commission the very first opportunity they
have, and they arc leaving no stone unturned
in their effort to make the Commission
obnoxious to the people. And we predict
that they will be successful in their effort.
When Hayes was inaugurated the Demo
cratic press made a great cry over the massing
•of troops around Washington. They assert
ing that it was the intention of the Repub
licans to use force if it was necessary. We
notice that no objection is being made to the
assemblage in Washington of an unusual
large number of troops to assist in the in
augural ceremonies of to-day. The precedent
is a bad one and should he frowned down,
especially the using of the troops of the regular
army.
Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin, was a
native of Morctown, Vermont, born in 1524.
After two years at the military academy, lie
entered the office of Rufus Choate, with
whom he studied and began the practice of
law. In 184S he removed to Wisconsin,
where he speedily gained prominence at the
bar. lie was elected United States Senator
in ISG9, was defeated for re-election in 1575.
and was again successful last year. lie was
considered one of the ablest logicians of the
Senate, and was an eloquent and forcible
orator.
The introduction of American street cars
into Rio de Janeiro lias produced a groat
change in the social and business life of the
people. There are two kinds of cars one for
barefooted people, 5 cents ; and one for those
who wear shoes. 10 cents

New because it is only within the last few years
that it has been improved and brought within the
reach of every one; old in principle because the
first invention was made and the first patent taken
out nearly twenty years ago. and cases made at
that time and worn ever since, are nearly as good
as r.cw. Read the following which is only one of
many hundreds, your jewelers can tell of similar
ones :

Remember that -Jas. Boss' is the only patent
case made of two plates of solid gold (one outside
and one inside) covering every part exposed to
