JEIPFEKSOKT, oa..
FRIDAV HOKAIAG, Maich 2.T. 1891.
Georgia may well be proud of her two Sen
ators.
The Southern Pacific Railroad is open fur
traffic.
Gov. Colquitt has been on an inspecting
tour to* the various convict camps in the State.
Gen. Emory Upton, the author of Upton’s
military tactics, committed suicide in Califor
nia last week.
It is about settled that an adjourned ses
sion of Congress will be called by Mr. Gar
field at an early day.
Through the treachery of Mahone, the Re
: publicans were enabled to organize the Sen
ate, which is now Republican—the two parties
equally divided.
Ren Hill tore the hide of Mahone, the new
Senator from Virginia, otr in {leaks last week,
and rna le him admit that he would vote with
the Republicans in the organization of the
Senate.
One of the most important features of the
new administration’s policy w.ll, thinks the
Baltimore American, probably be the vigor
ous development of our commercial relations
with Mexico.
Every newspaper that has a Washington
correspondent is filled with accounts of office
seekers at present in the Capital, dancing
attendance upon those who are in power and
have influence.
*ItUB Bai<l that the revisers of the liible
have found 120,000 error,* in the present one.
This accounts for the many forms of relig
ion. But, seriously, wo don't like to see so
much change all at once.
The people out West, who have been snow
cd under for three months and nearly frozen
to death, are chuckling over the idea that the
weather must have killed the potato bug;
and, even if it di 1 not, they say crops will be
so late tins season that the bms will be
starved to death.
Here is some solid wis lom from the Savan
nah Morniny ]\eics: “The course of "Ma
hons, Virginia,” in the United States Senate,
lbr which he is receiving such high flown
praises from the Republican members of
■Congress and from the Republican press,
■should effectually put a bar upon two favor
ite Radical battle cries, viz: “ Southern
repudiation” and “a solid South.” It was a
Southern Senator who gave them control of
the Senate, and it is a Southern repudiator
upon whom they are now lavishing their
praises.”
I lie Russian Nihilists have at last succeed
od in killing the Czar. On last Sunday week,
as he was returning from a parade in his car
riage. a glass shell, filled with nitro glycer
ine. was thrown at the ca r riage, and bursted
underneath it. This one. however, did not
injure the Czar, who alighted at the time to
see the amount of damage done. Another
one was thrown and bursted under the Czar’s
feet, crushing both of his legs and tearing
out one of the eyes and injuring him so that
he died that evening. lie will be succeeded
by his son, who has already assumed charge
of the government.
It is rumored that there are Ro proposi
tions before the Directors of the Georgia
Railroad to lease it and guarantee an eight
per cent, dividend to the stockholders. The
propositions come from the Louisville and
Nashville and the Central Railroad of Geor
gia. W 111 le this will be a paying move for
the stockholders, yet we are of the opinion
that the road ought to preserve its individ
uality. If other roads can afford to pay that
much rental and make a profit for themselves,
it looks as if the Georgia ought to be able to
make eight per cent, on its own hook and
preserve its individuality. The people of
Augusta are opposed to the lease, as it will
undoubtedly cripple their city, and they had
bettter commence work on the country stock
holder now in time, or ho will go for a big
and sure dividend. •
Here is what Alex. Stephens said in regard
to Ben Hill’s arraignment of Mahone. Mr.
Stephens may be right, but we don’t happen
to think so, a:ul his reasons a3 set forth in
tiiis paragraph will never convince us of but
one thing, and that is the growing necessity
for a Ben Hill in the lower to draw
Mr. Stephens over the coals : “ The Demo
crats have bungled all through this campaign,
and have acted indiseretely since. My friend
Hill has given tho finishing stroke. I regret
his conduct; it was very injudicious. What
right had Mr. Ilill to question or attack his
peer ? It was an outrage ; a species of Jacob
i lism. A man is responsible only to his own
conscience, I believe. \\ hy ! these caucus
measures are ruinous. I will not submit to
tiiem. I will do as I think right at the time,
no matter what caucus, constituents or part}'
say. Every man, I believe, has that right.
Mr. 11.11 s speech was very unwise. Who
gave him the right to catechise a fellow Sen
ator ? He has probably lost us everything.
Of course, the administration would have
controlled the important committees, but if
the Democrats had acted differently we
should have been given some good places in
organization. Now, I suppose, everything is
strangled.”
Mrs. Nancy YV illiams, who has been an in
mate of the lunatic asylum in Milledgeviile
for thirty -seven years, died on the Oth° inst.,
ninety. She was one of the first patients
received in that institution, and during the
' * si - 1
Western Circuit.
Few persons except the members of the
bar probably are aware of the great inequali
ty in the division of labor among the Superi- !
or Court judges. The Western Circuit is I
one of the largest in the State, the most
la* orious, as well as the most difficult to j
travel. There are in the circuit twelve coun ;
ties. Court meets in each twice a year.j
Taking the aggregate sessions for the year
in one county there is a five weeks court, in
three counties four weeks, and in the other
seven two weeks, making in all thirty-one
weeks out of the fifty-two that the Judge must
be actually in the court house.
Thus not taking into consideration the ex
pense and difficulties of riding a circuit in
which there are few railroads to the county
towns, not regarding the immense amount of
work which falls on the judge out of court, it
is readily seen that it is almost impossible
for one man to undergo the fatigue and en
dure the labor.
The result is, that work as hard as he may,
hold as many adjourned terms as he has time
to do, and business will be in arrear, and the
dockets cannot be cleared, cases linger on,
and parties lie out of their rights from no
fault of judge or counsel. The number of
weeks of court in other circuits will not av
erage twenty, the counties*are fewer, the
county towns more accessible and as we said
before, none of them equals our circuit in the
amount of work and difficulty. The remedy
for this trouble is in dividing the circuit and
making two circuits for which it is amply
large. With Gainesville as the headquarters
of the new, and Athens of the old circuit,
and a fair division of the counties, there will
be still enough work in each to employ fully
an active and competent judge, even suppos
ing he displayed the energy of our present
judge. —Athena Banner.

A reliable gentleman of Milledgeville avers
that he has gone fourteen days and nights
without sleeping.
The Montezuma Weekly relates the follow
ing “ sad accident;” “ Some days ago Mr.
Joel Oliver, a resident of this county, was
attempting to bridle a mule, when it turned
and kicked him in the breast, over the region
of the heart, and killed him almost instantly.
He staggered and fell, and before lie could
be carried into the house, a few yards dis
tant. he had breathed his last. On examina
tion, no outward sign of the kick could be
seen.
Pike County News : “It is currently re
ported that Mr. Pete Jones, of Meriwether
county, and who is well known in Barnes
viHe. committed suicide by hanging himself
on Wednesday last. Air. Jones wa9 in
Barnesville Monday or Tuesday, and seemed
to be in fine health and spirits. lie is a young
man, the son of John It. Jones, ofSandtown,
and was clever, all right and free from any
domestic troubles. A few months ago he
married a Miss Watson, a beautiful and clev
er girl.”
On the subject of'•Mining,” the Dahlonega
Signal says: “The mines show increased ac
tivity this week. Chicago capitalists are at
Auraria, and New York and Pennsylvania
capitalists are stopping at Dahlonega. All
the mines are at full work. The Findley is
doing better than ever before in her history.
Ihe Bast and Ivey arc above their usual
good returns. The Fish Trap is putting in
much new machinery. The Danse is being
rapidly developed and is showing better this
week than last. Captain Davis has opened
a very rich placer mine. The Dawsonville
mines are building mills and extending their
ditches in every direction. The Dawson
county mines arc now an established fact,
and opens a large field for capital.”
