After tlie rest which a presidential elec tion always enforces upon business iu forests a period of activity is to be ax pee ted, and rewards are to be gathered by the active, the alert the advertisers, Mrs, Harrison, the wife of tho 1’reai dent elect, is thus described by an ex u be rant correspondent: She is small, probably not more than fi feet 2, ami has a plump figure- Her dimpled fin gers display her marriage ring and tbreo diamonds. Her sleeves were tight and plain, showing the outlines of a finely moulded arm, and enabled g fid brace lets clasped the fair wrists. Her eyes are large and a soft brown, and her hair contrasts beautifully, being gray. Her mouth is the right size for beauty. She wears a soft, fluffy bang, and her hair coiled low ou her nock.

The paper contain* a rat trap attachment and a buzz saw, which is worked by concealed mnebiu ery. duly aud properly wound up in the morniug. A tramp or dishonest person pouucing on the newspaper sets the ma ehiuery in motion ; the iron jaws of the rat trap close over the hand of the thief aud the saw gets iu its line work with the most discouraging effect oti the klcpiomauinc.

WHILE ENGAGEO IN A DRUNKEN BRAWL A Howling Mob Takes the Town and Disgraces the Name *f Griffin Monday night was a had night It was wet and cold and muddy, and it was the eve of a political election, with a municipal election soon to follow in its wake. It was a bad night for any citizen to oe out, and a perilous night for a praeful citizen. Passengers coming in on the differ trains about half past eight were startled and alarmed by w ; ld yelling the streets, but were fold by drum mors that it was only what was us¬ during election times in Griffin. While this was not altogether true, it was too true to be denied, and a hu« people carried to a hundred dif ferent places a bail opinion of the that we all want everybody t- be proud of. This yelling was that of a dusky drunken crew shouting the name “Powell ! Hurrah for Powell !” alderman. It was a serious dis turbance, although not amounting to a breach of the peace. A little inter pandemonium began to reign in Seherer & Brauss 1 st loon, the curses and yells being mostly those of white people. Among this erowd, and as drunk and noisy as any ol them, was Policeman Betty, who should have been on duty and helping to quell the very disturbance that he was instrumental in exciting. Standing around and apparently taking little interest in affairs were the chief of police and Policeman Aycock, while ihe chairman of the police committee was on the streets most of the eve mug. Chief Manley made tbe excuse that he had no right to go into a sa¬ loon unless called upon by the pro¬ prietors; that they gave a heavy bond to keep an orderly house and that the responsibility was upon them if they did not think it neces¬ sary to call in the police. Some time afterward, however, he did go in and tell them that they must keep more quiet or close up. A little after eleven o’clock eight or ten pistol shots were fired in front of the same bar. Policeman Berry bud twice slapped J. P. Bled soe, of Mt. Ziou district, who was al so in the crowd most of the evening, and « fnsilade commenced. Berry fired ft nr shots, which did no harm, and received two balls in tho right side of his body,one passing through a lung. Berry was carried np to police headquarters, where he now lies in a critical condition, with the chances apparently against him. He accuses Polk Davis,,a companion of Bledsoe, of tiring tho shots, and other witnesses state the same. Davis is now iu jail and denies all knowledge of who tired the shots or having had any pistol himself, while Bledsoe refuses to talk. His friends, among tin in Jack Powell, had tried to get Berry to his room a short time previous to the shootiug, but he had refused to go. . Alderman Hudsou, going over to speak to Chief Manley about the mat ter, found himself in another alterca tion, in which knives and pistols were drawn, but no ono was injured. This closed (he Beetles of the night. The above is a plain statement of a very bad condition of affairs. Who is to blame for it, our readers can judge ns well ns we. The police seem to have been criminally negligent in not suppressing the whole disturb anee before it culminated ns it did. They are appointed to keep the peace and should do it at all hazards It is too easy, however, to lay all tbe blame upon the police sn such cases, because they appear most prominently in the matter. But back of them is the power that appoints and eontrole them—that upholds them in the maintainanee of law, or openly or covertly winks tu violation of law ami protects tne violators from the very guardians whom it has appointed. It is the same council that has failed to give us lights and streets, that pol ces tbe city n sneb an inefficient way that these out breaks are liable to occur at any time, while burglary boldly uses sledgo hammets at other times to open merchants’ doors. We need more policemen and a stricter sup port and supervision of them than the present adufinisLanon 1ms given us These are thiol's to remember in castiug a vote on the first Wednei day in next month.
