Poor of the new white captains ar rived yesterday and reported tb take charge of the companies thio morning. The enlisted mon bold a mass meeting and refused to obey order* unless ne gro officers were pat Over them. Three white regiments were ordered i out and ammunition issued. x Major General Bates, who was pres ent, helped quel! the mutiny. The negroes were finally pacified and the white officers will take command. Trying to Shield Him. And now some newspapers are try ing to explain why Jake Beach re signed his position as prison commis sioner just a few hours before Gover nor Atkiusou went out of office. They evidently realized that this last set of the Atkinson administration has thor oughly disgusted the whole state, and that it is necessary for the few friends left to Governor Atkinson to ssy some thing in bis behalf. But the explanation does not ex plain, In the first place, it places Mr. Beach in an absurd light to say that he resigned because be could not have hie way about the selection of the penitentiary site. But even if such an explanation could be accepted, it would still not excuse the bad taste displayed by Governor Atkinson in filling the vacancy thus created, in view of the fact that be, himself, was to retire from office within a Tew hours, While the new prison commissioner would serve through and. beyond tbe Incoming administration. No, bad Governor Atkinson been more a statesman and less a politician be would have loft the place lor his aucceosor to fill. In fact, bad lie ob served the ordinary rules of official courtesy, be would have refused to act on such an important matter on tbe eve of retiring from office. We don’t believe there is another man in Geor gi* that would have acted in such bad toate. What is tbe use of trying to defend Atkinson in this matter! He ha* de ceived no one. The whole thing was clearly understood tbe moment it was announced, and it is the unanimous verdict that Atkinson "fixed it" in or der that be might fix up his fences in Wiregrass Georgia. It is by far tbe most disgraceful thing that has occurr* ad in Georgia since reconstruction days, and it has called forth righteous indignation throughout the state.— Macon News. Two Slick Coons- Officers Phelps and Gordon arrested Will Robinson Tuesday night for stealing groceries from tbe Griffin Grocery Company Robinson was running a dray for tbe company, and was in tbe habit of biding a sack of flour or side of meat in tbe rear of their place of business and carying it home after night. The officers caught him Tuesday night when be went after a side of meat he had bidden earlier in tbe day. When arrested Robinson confessed and implicated Dave Bailey, another negro working for thia company. Bai ley was arrested yesterday morning and a large quanity of groceries, to bacco and cigars were recovered.

The Savannah Morning News pub lishes tbe following bit of political gossip from its Atlanta correspondent: A report was earrent at the capitol today that another shake-up on the prison commission might be looked for at any moment. This aims, it was said, it would be Secretary Douglas Glessber, who would leave tbe board. Secretary Glauner was put on the board through Gov. Atkinson. The board has the election, but tbe govern or controlled the appointment, it is said. According to the report, Secre tary Glessnar has never given satisfac tion to tbe board, and it has been aim ply a question of bow to relieve tbe situation without an unpleasant.expo sition. The board, or at least an influ ential part of Wants a more active man than Mr. Glauner, whose time is partly occupied in running bis pa per, tbe Griffin News, and this is tbe alleged cause of the dissatisfaction. None of the members of tbe com mission will discuss the matter, but it is believed that the friction over the secretary has caused a considerable coolness, which is not calculated to advance tbe work of the department. A gentleman, who knows a good deal about the situation, said today that Secretary Glessner’s retirement from tbe board might be expected at any time, aodr*Whon it comes it may I be with an even more spectacular show than when Mr. Beach quit. ’ Mlim MUSINGS.
